Fearpig Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Hi Guys,The title might be a bit missleading but I'm trying to find an off-the-shelf solution to provide pay-for on-line training.Basically the user should sign-up and pay for a course. He/She would then be e-mailed a username and password which they can use to log-on with to complete the course and the exam.Does anyone know of an off the shelf solution? I'd prefer to have it in PHP and be able to host it ourselves. I've found a couple but they aren't quite what I'm looking for and I was hopeing that someone could recommend one.Thanks for any help. ;D Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/25676-php-based-online-training-courses/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuggieBear Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 How will you want users to pay for the service? Are they going to be using paypal, or a merchant bank account of some kind? You'll need to consider this when looking for a solution.RegardsHuggie Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/25676-php-based-online-training-courses/#findComment-117189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearpig Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 Hi Huggie, PayPal would be fine, I've never used Merchany bank accounts before but I suppose that would be OK as well! Sorry, a bit vague I know!Tom Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/25676-php-based-online-training-courses/#findComment-117195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuggieBear Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Never having done a project like this before I'm not in a position to offer any sound advice, just outline a few questions you should be asking yourself.Having said that, if you find some php scripts that deal with user registration and on-line training, then configuring it to use something like PayPal's IPN shouldn't actually be too difficult. If you're unaware of Merchant Accounts, then this probably isn't the way for you to go right now, PayPal sounds like a viable solution.RegardsHuggie Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/25676-php-based-online-training-courses/#findComment-117197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
