[For Hire] PHP Developer Needed For Project

Post by Joseph98053 »

I am looking for a programmer who is proficient with PHP, who can complete a quick project for me. Let me begin by saying that I am willing to pay $50 to someone who can create what I desire and assist me in applying it to the FTP server. Please forgive me if I use improper terminology.

At one point, months ago, I had someone create exactly what I desired, but that fell through.

On the homepage, there will be a “Submit” button that redirects to a page on which there are several text boxes: “Name”; “E-mail Address”; and “Idea Description.” Bellow those textboxes will be a “Submit” button that will send that information to a database, and logs it by date.

On another page, accessible by the “Archive” button on the homepage, the database will be queried, and there will be a list of names displayed – as submitted in the aforementioned textboxes. Upon clicking on one of those names, it will redirect to a page that lists the submitted information of that person, along with the date on which it was submitted.

A mock homepage may be viewed here, for clarity: http://logmyidea.com/homepagetest.html

If you are interested or are unclear about my description, please e-mail me at jgentzkow@gmail.com

-Thank you for your time

$50 is not going to get you very far. Especially if I'm starting from scratch.

Most developers on here expect $50/hour not $50 per project.

You require several scripts/pages from what I understand:

- Homepage submit button (easy - 5 minutes)
- Form with various fields. Is the FORM designed and ready to go HTML?
- Then you need a script which will submit that FORM data to a database (Assume 15 minutes per field for simple forms)
- Redirection is easy but what about validating the FORM? If the user misses a required field? Add another 15 minutes to each FORM field if this funcitonality is required.
- Then you need a listings page. Does it need to be accessible by everyone or only limited people? Listings are easy enough but if the HTML isn't completed or layed out already, that can take several hours ot get right. Do you need editing or updating ability? That increases the cost ten fold.
- Then you need a details view page so when someone wishes to see the details of a submittion they can.

How are you planning on preventing spambots from anonymously posting to your database? If you require CAPTCHA that to will increase the cost as it adds complexity.

How do you plan on moderating your submittions? What if a human posts bogus information (so CAPTCHA is circumvented) like Porn links or somrthing? Do you know how to use phpMyAdmin? Are each post going to have to be approaved by your or another person before they are publically shown? If you need a control panel add another $500 bucks to the total cost.

You can keep things simple and ignore the facts above but your project will suffer for it. Porn posts will not add credability to your site and people *will* stop using it and spam bots will very likely post garbage on your site.

The three simple pages and scripts I could do for maybe $150-200 depending on the number of fields. (without captcha, control panels, etc). If you can use phpMyAdmin then implementing an approval system is fairly straight forward and you won't need CAPTCHA but you'll be spending a fare amount of time cleaning submittions if you become popular.
