Dear visitor,

This is my first post. I am a new php learner and have started by extracting and entering data from mysql database.

Now I want to build a car showroom (for hobby) where
1. I will allot users a password and a login manually.
2. When user sign in depending on its password he can send emails to x, y and z car owners or car owners from california etc. that I have allowed without revealing their email. Can I use smtp also, if yes how
3. User can attach files upto specific size or type.
4. The email first should reach me, if I allow then it can go to desired owners.

Could anyone please help by making small scripts examples.
I will be very much thankful to you.

Sounds like you are want to get into something way over your head. Why not start with baby steps and work your way up to them? Most of us here aren't up for doing a lot of work for someone else specific unless we're getting paid to do it. We'll gladly give you pointers and information to head in directions.

Here's some starting pointers:
  • read articles on creating login and user registration systems. Implement it.
  • read the file upload handling documentation on php.net, implement your own (from scratch)
  • read how user rights work, build it.
  • read how emailing works in php, or phpmailer, or similar tools.. build the email system
  • read up on security concerns over things like uploads, email, and such
A starting point: Make a simple html form that can interact a bit with php.

Take your time, scour the net for info and believe me you will be overwhelmed by the amount of info you will see out there. There are forums, scripts, tutorials, boards ever helpful to you... It just takes a little in-depth searching and all the while trying it out yourself. Jus' Thatsit :wink:
