Hi there,

In a bit of a problem, have company website, have hosted server with PHP MySQL etc etc

Problem is. I am VB/Unidata programmer
have little knowledge pf PHP
have BBC arriving at my compnay in 3 days for live show where my website will be very visible infront of 12 million people.

I am trying to learn PHP very fast in order to create very simple addition to my website which is basically a page where client can see our current list of items in a sale i.e.

Lot| Description| Estimate| Image
1 | Table | 20 - 50 | table.jpeg
2 | Chair | 100 - 150|
3 | Diamond Ring | 10-15|
etc etc upto about 900

I would hope this to show 25 lots per page with next/previous button and ability to search on description and return results + click image(if available & view). Could some very kind person point out a really good tutorial for this area as i've been searching but to very little avail. I have a mysql db setup and i can connect to it with php but thats it so far and I only have about 3 hrs to spare every evening!!!

If you can help me I would be eternally gratefull

Thanks

Leo

    leo, this is not a "please make a script urgent forum" but.. all the things you want to do.. are available in this forum.. just search for them.. if you get stuck. post your question.

    Ideas:
    • input data form
    • page where you show your items (chek select * from table ...limit.. for previous and next links)

    good luck :wink:

    I respect that thats why I asked to be pointed to a tutorial. I have been searching this forum but get lots of search results that inform you how to create tables on MySQL rather than populating an HTML table.

    There's loads of info about this in the forum.

    Mac

    Since you're in a hurry see viewtopic.php?t=8696&start=0 for a paginator script.

    This works Ok but I've since made some improvements such as an argument debugger and the ability to add another clause to the second limit query. Message me if you would like the new one.
