Hey Slimrob,
I'd say you'd be looking to pop the .csv into a database of sorts, I'd recommend MySQL. You would then have to use a server-side language, such as PHP, to query your database and draw up a table with the last names, ect. It's not all that difficult to do in truth.
In the PHP, something like...
PHP Code:
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `employees` WHERE `last_name` = 'M'");
$query_num = mysql_num_rows($query);
echo "<ul>";
for ($i=0; $i < $query_num; $i++) {
$last_name = mysql_result($query, $i, 'last_name');
echo "<li>$last_name</li>";
}
echo "</ul>";
...would query this MySQL database for all last names in the employees table beginning with M, and then run a loop to display them in a list format.
I would research the functions and languages I've mentioned in this post, and hopefully you'll be able to get started with something.
