I am new to Drupal. I was wondering how a more experienced Drupal user would create a simple address book like the one in this PHP tutorial. http://php.about.com/od/finishedphp1/ss/address_book.htm

I'm new too, but I wondered if you really wanted the the various options like "add contact", "edit", and "remove" like in the page you link to - or did you just want to display a list of names, addresses, etc. in a table? Anyway, I'm also curious about what answers you get. I suspect people will say to use a the CCK and Views modules - but I wonder if there's a simpler way?

Yes I figured the views and cck. But I to wanted to see if there was another way, and or if some one would be kind enough to offer some help and tips on how to do this with views and cck.

If I use CCK and Views how do I create "add new" "edit" and 'delete" options? If there is some other way would I have to create a table in my datrabase? There are already "name" and "email" fields (or is it nodes) on the profile and user login, I was wondering how I could use these fields and the info I already have for this new address book.

Yes I want it exactly like the address book in the tutorial, with the exception of I would like a field for home addresses.

This has come up before:
http://drupal.org/node/86165 and
http://drupal.org/node/121670

I will try and follow the instructions given at 86165 but I am still confused on exactly what the vocab should be in taxonomy.
Should it be the same as the names in my content type, like "name" "address" "cell/home phone number" "email address"?

I got to thinking that the profile module generates a "User List". The user list displays user name and pic.

I was wondering I f I could use the user list to make my simple address book?
By putting the fields home address, home phone number, cell phone number, ect on the profile/user page and that information displayed on user list?

If this is possible could someone give details on how to do it? Using Drupal 6.4

thank you.
