Where I can find info about making this:

IvanV

Hi, Im new in all this PHP world. Can you please tell me where I can find some info about doing this php pages:

1) UPLOAD FORM - I want to upload a file from the browser to a directory and store all the info into a database also I want the form to have a drop-down menu attached to a recordset in a table, I want the menu to be updated everytime the recordset changes.

2) A page that retrieve data from a database and place them into a page in a table in the page.

3) A page with an Alphabetic menu where I can select for example Brands, brands by letter, that will go to a page called (for example) brand.php, and then that brand product(s) to product.php

Hope I explained myself right, Please keep in mind I'm really NEW into this, thanks!

If you search around, you'll easily be able to find the first two. As for the last, can you explain a bit further?

For number three it sounds like you want to dyncamically build a form jump menu based off off available brands, then have that menu take you to brand.php where the information displayed correllates to the brand chosen....

this would be taken care of by first retreiving the brands (similar to how you will achieve goal number 2)... and then placing a query on brand.php that selects from the brand database table where the data is equal to the brand you selected...

you can do this by passing the brand's id through the query string.

you could then go further with this action to get your products page.

does this help? try searching for "passing variables by the query string" and things like that.

you probably wont find a script that will do this type of thing as easily or as well as writing it yourself...

the upload thing, though... you can find tons of scripts like that.

lots of people like hotscripts.com, freashmeat, phpbuilder, etc.....

The best site for PHP scripts, tutorials, and other information is the PHP Resource Index.
