I would like to write a script for a "free stuff by referral" site. Here is an example of generally what I am looking forhttp://script.offerdollars.com/portal.php?page=3. I would just buy the script, but it is encoded and there are a few things I want to change.
For this project, I will be using MySQL which I have setup already. I am new to php, but not OOP (experience with Java).
So my question is how do I get started on my site?

that's a really really general question.. I don't know too much of what to say except...
  1. build your library of classes, handlers, and things for the system.
  2. abstraction layer of the database, among other things..
  3. get a host, register your domain.. blah blah
  4. read like crazy all of php.net's documentation of php..

ok sorry for being so general, but I just needed someone to point a finger to where I need to start. I have a host and domain already so I guess I just have a lot of reading to do :wink: Thanks for the help

create what, specifically? Everything I can think of, adds more pain on the programming end of things.

I feel MySQL is far far better than Access.
