Web based application

Dear Experts,

I am working as a system coordinator position in a management institute, I have a big library in our institute, I want to introduce a web based book search engine for our student in our local lan(Intranet). I am using red hat linux 9.0 for our proxy server. I want to know that is this possible at linux that student serach their reference book from any web browser that means frontend is any web browser and backend should be Mysql? if yes then give me some idea about that. My toatal plan like following

Mysql(Database)===>Apache====>DNS(Intranet)=====>Webbrowser(IE, Netscape etc)

Hi rana28,

Yes this is possible, you could easly create a web interface like that with a language of your choice
PHP,or any CGI implementation using Perl,C,Java,Bash

but i advise you to use PHP which has a lot of MySQL built in functions and is verry well documentated
and therefore easy to learn
