hey all.
first off i'm pretty wet!
my PHP experience so far : for a site i built, i started with a newsletter signup, and eventually made more complex forms with lots of different field types and lots of validation.
So i havent got into "strings" yet. ( i can hear the laughter from here).
my question is, i want ot build a site for someone that would somewhat resemble www.Craigslist.com - no images. It would be an events calendar, formatted similarly. A list of cities, each linking to a calendar with events posted for that city.
Users would input all the events. And, pay a small fee to do so.
So i'm looking for the best way to go about it - i don't expect to just "find some code" and paste it.
I assume i'll need to create a user area, albeit simple, with registration / login.
I assume a paypal integration will be easiest for payment from users.
Im guessing the input of events could be as simple as a form, but unlike what i've done, it doesn't send to an email address, it inputs the data (into a table, right?) onto the site.
Maybe it has to be "approved" by an admin of the site? maybe not?
thanks ahead for any input.
oh - i have looked through some calendar threads here, and will continue to.
many thanks
ben
