I got a book from the library called "PHP8 and MySQL". A brief persusal of its 1081 pages convinced me that I might not live long enough to rewrite a website which cross-references 2000 musicals with more than 18,000 singers' names and more than 31,000 song titles. But I have finally found a ColdFusion expert who can update my code and I hope
to be able to be back online before Christmas!!
