need an advise for designing a e-greeting!!!

[tamill]

Hi,
[font=Verdana]
Here's my very first attempt.
I posted something like this earlier this week or something, but I'm stuck.
Don't mind the actual texts in there, that's complete rubbish.

I am a college student. I have to do a project.
They gave project in php &mysql (wonderful) combination.
I am new to this combination. For the project i have to do the follwing.

I need to create a e-greeting .
Where a user can select a picture and personalise as in case of the yahoo-greeting or 123greeting.

Then when the user presses the submit button.
the url of the personised card should go tho the email specified.

Then when the user click the url from his mail.
this site should show the personalised greeting card.

I have to start this project at the earliest.
Any idea of doing this please reply

So I need some advice as to what I could do with this.

Thanks in advance.[/font]

Hmm... sounds like fun actually!
I take you have the right setup to do this? Server with PHP and MySQL?

You'd need to first of all create a form in normal HTML where the user can enter a message, their name, the name of the person they want to send this to and their email address.

Send that info over to a php page, save all of this in a database and give it a number. Then send the number to the email the user typed in...

... and then another form where the receiving person types in the number they received, that form submits to another script that will call up the greeting saved in the database...

Might be a good idea to add a password to the ecard number to make sure people cant access other users cards.
