Client Records Application

Post by anne_marie »

Hi everyone :)
I'm totally new to PHP, but as I have experience in Web Design, i've been asked to help my uncle's business. He runs a local home delivery service and basically he's asked me if I can create a website where customers can register and be given a random or unique identity number and fill out their details - address etc.
He then wants to be able to access their details through the website by using this id. I'm not unfamiliar with databases, but as a complete novice, is this easily done using php? and what would the learning curve be like? There is no ordering or buying online, simply they would register and be given a unique ID, and if they wanted a delivery they would phone him up quoting this unique id and he would access their address etc by entering it. How difficult would this be for a novice?
many thanks,
AM

Not hard at all, the database can have the "id" number as "auto_increment" which will give each user a unique id number which they can use when phoning in. Very little PHP can be used here... a HTML form that submit and a few lines of php connecting to a database and making an insert.
