Help Needed But Not Exactly Sure

[Host47]

I hope I can explain this properly, here's what i'm looking to do...

I want to create some sort of database or whatever...that has the following info..

Employee Photo
Employee Name
Employee Department
Employee Salary

I would like it if I could import the photo's and it resizes then to a specific size, i.e all photos the same size, if not then i can batch resize...but would like the option to import the pic.....

The boss then can say type in either a name, either full or by surname or department to view the data on that person....


Is there anything that can do this or what would it cost to do this....

many Thanks

Hey ReaperUK,

Are you wanting to do this as a web application? Or a program (and database) run from your computer (this is the quicker, cheaper, easier way)?

Hey Billy,

This is to be run on a pc, maybe a network......

If the company has a webserver that supports PHP then I would say that would be the way to go. PHP has a library called GDLib that can auto resize the thumbnails as you are wanting and MySQL is a free open-source database that could be used. I see no cost associated with software and as far as development maybe an hour or two tops to put this together.

Ah righto,

Well i'm not sure if it's possible to run the software im thinking of on multiple computers across a network

There's a program called FileMaker, which is a database management program. You can design your own system, just like the one you want pretty quickly. I havn't used it in a while, but I do know it can handle what you want. Not sure about importing information though.

Just a suggestion,
Rhett.

Do you have an url for FileMaker just to make sure I have the right one....

I've used it for an IPT assignment once, worked fine, can take a little getting used to, but you dont need any coding knowledge etc.
