Hi, I need advice on a website I am developing. What I’d like advice on is which PHP platform (by platform I mean PHPnuke, PHPbb, etc..) would be best for the site I am creating…
Basically, I need a site in which users need to register (this is very important) and will have their own unique account and no interaction with other members (unlike an online community, but more like an online store). Personal information will be included in the user’s profile and stored in the database (like the user’s real name, contact info, etc)…Registered users can then fill out an online form requesting certain files for download and submit this form to the admin (me). I would then get the files together (probably zipped or rar) and make them available for download to the user. What is important here is that only the user is able to access their requested files, hence they need to be logged in to submit a request and download their requested content. Also, this service is free so no payment or e-commerce modules need be incorporated in the site (for now anyway), but if the option is available that would be fine also.
Naturally, the site will also have the usual FAQ, Contact Us, Help desk, etc. So what would be the best PHP platform to use for a site like this? I guessing, with the versatility of PHP, something like this should already exist, but I don’t know what it is called…
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!
