Before I hire a programer...

Hi,

Before I go out and find a programmer I thought I should at least find out if want to do is possible with php.

I run a small web hosting outfit and right now when I set someone up with some space I also give them two little pre-made web pages so that they have a little something when they start out.

These two web pages are automatically created when I set up the clients new account. And each web page is in its own directory.

I would like to give my new clients a little control panel or something where they could go and put in some personal information like their name, email address, etc. And then I'd like that information to show up in pre-designated spots on these two pages.

For example, page one in the first directory might have a spot for their name, email, and phone number to appear. And page two might have a spot for their name, favorite links, and favorite movies to appear.

Is that possible? And if so... is it relatively easy or hard? And in your opinion what might I expect to have to pay to have someone write this script for me, if it's possible to begin with?

Thank you for any help with this. I appreciate it!

Kindly,
John

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's possible. Should be as easy as writing a form and having it save the information in another file.

Something like that is real easy to set up. I really only have experience with PHP and MySQL on Linux. If you've got a similar setup, what you're looking for could be set up in a day or two. As for the cost, I've got absolutely no idea.

Relatively easy, and my guess would be less than $200. I would say it would be (at best) a 2 hour gig (depending on your other requirements that aren't written here).

Just a guess though.
