Question/Answer Script

Hi there! I'm very much a newby (and an amateur!) in this forum.

I've been looking for a PHP script to add a facility for visitors to post a question to my site, which would then be accessed by an 'expert', and responded to if appropriate. It would need to save the question, allow password-controlled access to the question file, save the answer with the question, display the list of answered questions, provide access to these, and later to archive the answered questions under a variety of categories.

I have been unable to find an example script of this, partly because searching for 'question-answer' naturally picks up a huge number of hits!

Would appreciate any pointers...

Chris

Free solution - Your requirement sounds a bit like a forum program configured so that anyone (including guests) can post a question, but only moderators can delete if inappropriate or answer. Moderators could then archive Q&A in categories of their choice. You would need a php host and a mysql database. This forum uses phpBB which is the most popular and is free - from http://www.phpBB.com.

Or get someone to write you exactly what you require!
