Auction software/site (PHP) help!!!
Posted: Thu Mar 25, 2004 7:57 am
Hello, I'm new to this forum and PHP. I have recently been testing a auction platform that is done in PHP and need some help/clarification on something. The site is very nice, lots of bells and whistles, and the admin portion is excellent...very easy to use, able to do things like type up press releases...submit...and voila! it's where it should be on the site. I'm sure this is very simple and standard but I think it's exciting...lol.
My question is this, I'm thinking about purchasing the thing but in no way want to use it for my business with it's stock look and feel. How difficult would/should it be to change the outward appearance of the site without effecting the PHP that runs the whole thing. I've talked to some people about doing this but I want to understand it myself first. So basically, how do they go about changing the homepage, etc...while continuing to let the different features work.
Is it simply here is the webpage...now I just call the different PHP modules? that were used before and they'll show up where they need to be. Sorry if I sound like a moron, I've just never used PHP before. Thanks.
