Thank you for your reply. The worst part of this case is that the professor can't really help me because he can't really do it his own... I mean he only say general things but when I ask something deeper hes just don't know what to say... and the final presentation of this homework will be in 2 other professors. Is the idea with the tags wrong you believe? What I thought as a plan is this: I have 15 categories. Each category has 3-5 sub categories. Each subcategory has 15 products. I can use these subcategories for the user's profiling but I thought to add tags to any of each product so the profiling would be based of these tags. After that I need to have somewhere in my page a small div that will show the process of the profiling of the user. So I must save somewhere the decisions of my code. After that I will add in sql in users profile the new things that I want to be saved when the user will register in the site so the site would know after it what ads will show every time the user will log in. Now I tried to add tags in products but I use the virtuamart and I can't find where is the php for the form of adding products for add the code for adding tags. But I will find it soon or later But after that I thought to use if else for watching the tags of the products. But how can do that for the items that are in user's basket?

I know its hard...but professor gave it to me. So I have to create it somehow. Thank you all for your replies. My thought was this: I create an e-shop in joomla with the virtuamart. I thought to add tags for each product and make the tags not visible in the page. So to make something like if has tag woman then add woman if has tag man then add man and if woman tags > than man tags then user might be woman etc etc. Requinix do you think its better to have in sql lists with the profiles? Or to add a "tags" table in the products? oh God it gets harder and harder to do this!

Hello all, I need some help here! I want to find a way to do this: in an e-shop (not a real one just for a homework!) I want when a non registered user add items in his basket to have a php code that will understand the kind of user. For example if the user add a pink tennis ball the code will understand that the user might be a woman and that might like sports. If user add a car fluid code will understand that the user has a car. If user add in his basket a baby cream code will understand that user has a baby. So all the data the code will collect will be displayed somewhere in the page. For example: user is man, have car, have baby, between 30-50 years old. And somewhere in page will be a ads based to these results. For example user will see an advertising for baby food, or for a car product. I need to make that for a homework, but I don't really know from where to start, can someone help me? Any help would be fine because I don't know from where to start! This thing called user profiling. Thanks!
