hey guys i gotta question here …

I got this project here and it requires me to do this:

We have 30 products manuals that needed to be ‘viewed’ online only okay and before the customer can view the manuals they need to register and pay for say 1 – 2 years time.

First of all im not a programmer but I just happen to be given this thing. I have been asking many friends and one of them said that it is best to do this using PHP. Is this right? and if it is, what is the first I should do? is it difficult to do this?

THanks guys … ?

@chazzyOct 31.2005 — well let's see what you're exactly trying to do:

  • - process payments online associated with account registration

  • - store manuals and allow customers to view them after they have registered.


    • you'll need a database, but php is one of your choices.

    @NogDogOct 31.2005 — In what format are the manuals?

    @acemoOct 31.2005 — [code=php]
    # the following include does:
    # mysql_connect(host, user, password)
    # mysql_select_db(database)
    require("c:/php_includes/test_db.php");
    [/code]

    Can i here use the mysql commands instead of using an require?

    Or could ppl get my login information then?

    @SheldonOct 31.2005 — If it is in php tags they cant see your code easily because php is processed server side, they just see the result,

    As [b]NogDog[/b] asked what format are they in?
