Product catalog - need help

Post by blink41 »

Hey all !
I'm currently doing my training period, and a part of that training period is to create a website, which aim would be to present a catalog of my company's products. basically, they want it to look like this : http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/store ... d=-1&top=Y
They want the products catalog to look like it : a small picture of the product, with paging and the possibility to click on a product to have some details about it.
I know that the products are loaded on a table, but I don't know which code I could type, I also don't know how I can redirect the user to the page where there will be the details of the product.
If someone got some advises, it'd be great !
Thanks in advance,

Ryan

Ryan, it's not that we don't want to help you, but your question is like, "I don't know how to program with PHP, please tell me how." The only advice I can offer you is to study HTML and PHP. If you have already learned the basics, you can probably find answers to specific questions by using Google to search for very specific programming techniques. If you have TRIED some code and it doesn't work, THAT's when you can come to a forum like this and show your code and ask us to help you figure out what's wrong. That's what this forum is for.

I understand your answers, and I learned the basics at school, but I'm afraid to run out of time. What I'd like to know is if there are any examples available somewhere.
I also don't know how I can make it work, I mean there will be some categories, and each category will display a specific line of products. I don't know if I can make like one php file where all the requests would be, and, thanks to the category selected, a specific request would be executed, showing the products corresponding to the category. Then, if a product is selected, there will be page like product_details.php where all the details would appear. I think I'll use some loops to create the product list, and some kind of post method when clicking on a product in order to show its detailed page. I'd like to know is if I'm on the right way, or if you have any tips on certain parts of code.
Thanks.
