PHP Database question - 8/1/2008 19:46:07   
I just paid someone to build a database script for me. I want to learn how to do it, however I guess I would need to know the correct name of the type of script first.

I operate a Job Posting site for EMT's and Paramedics. I had a HTML form I used that came to my email. I would then hand enter the data into a page on my site.

He made a new form (exactly like the one I had) that would post to the database. I would then log into a admin page and approve or disprove the posting.

When the person posted the job, each text box data would show on certain part pf the page where I used to hand enter them with html.

I.E...

posting - http://www.fieldmedics.com/jobs/forms/postjob.htm

the data entered show in two locations

List of postings in each state - http://www.fieldmedics.com/jobs/view_job_postings.php?state=Alabama

and the posting itself - http://www.fieldmedics.com/jobs/view_job_details.php?id=25

He also set up a cron job that I will tackle when I figure the script out.

If anyone can help, please do so..

thanks in advance,

Dave

It is a simple form that posts to a database and a page that calls the information out of the database and back to a web page.
It was written in PHP the interactive language of Linux servers.
The other option is ASP, one of the interactive languages of Microsoft servers.
What type of web editor are you using--FrontPage, Expression, DreamWeaver?
How much do you want someone to walk you through or can you take a really simple code example that is commented up and figure it out for yourself?
I'd be happy to help you on the ASP side of life but my PHP is only passable.

I use expression web. I could take an example and run with it, but if there were a more detail tutorial (video preferably)that would be much faster for me.

thanks for replying so quick.
