i am relatively unfamiliar w/ PHP solutions, but i have a client (a state acupuncture association) who has a need for an online community of sorts, and rather than build a custom soution (they have very limited budget) it seems like there's got to be a pre-built php solution out there for something like this. they need the following:
1) register members:
- user pays a reg fee via paypal, upon confirm they are given a password.
- a new member now logs on to our fancy php site and is able to fill out a profile... with contact info, a photo, and other pre-defined fields (we need to be able to define the profile fields).
the profiles need to have both user AND administrator access for editing.
2) search for practitioner
- the general public needs to be able to search for an acupuncturist and be returned appropriate member profiles (per the above)
3) they also want to offer a members-only bulletin board, polls, listserv, etc..
the group also wants to be able to define a section of the site where they can upload and post articles & newsletters.
know any out-of-the box PHP solutions you could recommend?
