Catalog PHP Script

[]SK[]

My dad was asking me the other day if I could do him a website which he updates with cars that he sells. Ive looked at some catalogs online but cant find one simple enough for him to use, anyone recommend one at all? Prolly needs something with uploading of images on.

Nothing with PHP is simple. Just gotta practice with it until you get it.

Basic programming knowledge always helps though.

I moved the thread...you'll actually get an answer in here.

Depending on your programming knowledge, you could either make your own from scract - the complexity of which will be entirely dependent on what your dad wants.
Or, and this may be preferable if you're less comfortable with database design, you could use an existing system to provide the database, then write your own front end for your Dad to use, creating simpler forms and setting sensible defaults for anything built in that he isn't going to use.

making one shouldn't be too hard

all you have to do is have a DB with one table, a text file would suffice.

you would have to have fields of:

id - just a simple number
make - the make of the car, ie. ford
model - the model ie. escort
description - a short description
price - the price yo' dad wants for the car
image_location - the location of the uploaded image

then a simple PHP script that putts it all together


another script would be needed to upload the images and write the data, but this shouldn't prove too much of a problem.


oh, and a delete/sold function would be useful, as would an edit.

Or use an image gallery !

Setup sections for each car make etc etc. You could even have new additions / bargains and so on
