I'm new to PHP really, but I know how to install/use it just not code it very well at the minute, anyway Ill learn.

I'm looking to add a system to my site where people can submit links to a database that will come in handy. I need 3 fields Website Name, URL and different website category's(Tutorials, games, etc), maybe a rating system 1-5. Does anyone know of any links to such a system?

Hope I've explained myself
Thanks in advance

Yah just go to hotscripts and type in link database.

PHP Resource Index is quite good

I know you said your looking for something already made, but this would be a good project to learn on!

Yes this wouldn't be a hard project at all! If your looking for a premade one and don't wanna learn I will see what I can do in some of my spare time. The only question is you want a submission site so your gonna want 1 tables in the mysql database with 5 values. id, website, title, category, active. Active would be the part where its a simple 0 or 1 and this is where you the admin would set the link to a active stat or inactive. But when they first submit it would be inactive waiting admin approval. Anyway let me know maybe you can do it and I can help you through it..

Would this be the same thing as a site like www.pixel2life.com would have? Where users submit a tutorials with the website name, rating, views, comments and the admin can approve of it and the table shows up on the main page?

the information submiting process is kinda hard for php beginers i think :/

i searched for a premade script to submit forms to a database for a long long time and never ever found one easy to install... always something wrong with one of them...

than i started to make my own... and thats the problem.. im still working on it as im talking took me over a MONTH.

Where did you start in making one, what resources did you utilize that is...

well wanna really know ?

a friend made a name / ip submission system, a very small table, a very small database ID NAME IP and a simple HTML page.

well since i am not doing bad at HTML i did design some stuff around his form... well i did exactly how i did with HTML, i screwed up his code once i screwed it up i tried to find what did i do to make it go that way... that i learned the effect.. now

www.oncvu.fr is my submission system.

Huge database 30 tables with over 6000 pissiblites (basicly buses / trains / subways / locations)
its a dating site to find people you saw somewhere... it. for now.. covers FRANCE.

anyways who cares... all im saying is that i never go a script to download, i asked my friend if i could modify his which is basic and than i guess learned from that.

thing is : the code he made is implemented inside PHPBB3 and i can't extract :/

Seriously, someone needs to write a REAL tutorial about a submission system. something small / small database / small html page.

If i knew what i was exactly doing in PHP i would of write it. but if i do now, its just gonna be an other miserable tutorial on the net.
