Need: I am creating a website that requires users to be able to setup user accounts (subscriptions) on two levels. One subscription is a month-to-month account for a small fee, and the other subscription is a yearly account for a larger fee.
Requirements: (1) I need help developing the database to track user information (monthly or yearly accounts)
(2) I want users to get an email 1 week before their account expires asking them to renew or upgrade (if it's a monthly account). I want yearly subscribers to get an email 1 month prior to their subscription ending.
(3) I need the database to track all of the user account information except the credit card info.
(4) I need the user information accessible so that I can send an email newsletter monthly to our customer base.
I have a merchant account and [login to view URL] integration forms tested and ready to implement for credit card payments for subscriptions. They just need to be intergrated into the process.
I need technical guidance on the database. Will a MySQL database be sufficient or is something else better? My hosting provider allows up to a 100 MB MySql DB. My web server supports the following scripts (Perl, Python, PHP3 - 5).
