Holidays Website

[flash9]

Hi everybody,

I have been asked to design a holidays website for a client of mine, and was looking for some advice on what scripts etc to use. Basically my client would like to sell adverts to customer who is advertising the holiday, they then need to write up their advert, be able to edit it etc. The other thing i come up against is that he wants the holidays advertised world wide, so the client needs to select where their holiday is situated. Another factor is i need to restrict the client to only be able to make one advert.

Any Advice will be much appriciated.

You're not being specific enough. I can't figure out just what advice you're looking for.

It looks like you would need a couple of databases, some kind of authentification system with passwords, cookies. PHP?

hi, and thank you for replying.

I am really not sure what i need, or where to start. Basically i just need a system where by a user can purchase an advertising space, and be able to edit that advert themselves. The only additional thing that i would require is that i be able to put the adverts into specific sections. for example, holidays in spain, uk, us etc.

Once again thanks for taking the time to help.

It sounds like it could be easily done with MySQL/PHP. My idea is that you're talking about text ads. It's a lot more complicated if they're not text.

If they're text, then they can stay in the database.

PHP can easily figure out what section the visitor is trying to access and insert the relevant ads.

Similarly, PHP can figure out who is trying to make what changes and make the necessary modifications in the database.

Google PHP tutorial or PHP MySQL tutorial, then ask more specifc questions in the PHP forum.
