PHP Image and Info Viewer

[Drakeodude12]

Hello, I have recently started a project and i've come to part in which I am stuck. I do not want to say in exact detail what I am working on but ill explain basically what it is.

 

The public uploads their pictures along with their information, lets say First Name, Last Name, Email and Phone Number. So what I want to do is be able to access that(not the public just me) and when I search for a piece of information it brings up the persons photo along with all other information. Let me give an example

 

John uploads his picture

 

John

Appleseed

jas@x.com

1(555)5555

 

 

Now I go to my private page and type in a search box

 

jas@x.com

 

I hit search and his photo along with all his information is shown.

 

I was wondering if anybody could point me in the way a tutorial or if anybody has an insight on how to tackle this.

 

I have made a mockup in VB, but it's not practical for reasons.

 

Shouldn't be very hard.

 

Thanks

Harrison

Do you have a question?

Sorry, I was wondering if anybody could point me in the way a tutorial or if anybody has an insight on how to tackle this.

This sounds like a basic database driven application, with the centrepiece of your question being how to perform a MySQL SELECT query with a WHERE clause.

 

In short: Just about any PHP + MySQL tutorial will teach you how to do this.

Unfortunately, there's a LOT of crappy tutorials out there, so I'd recommend starting at tizag.com. Not everything there is of the best quality, but it is quite adequate for learning the basics.

 

PS: This is not a "PHP coding help" question, as you're not asking for help with your PHP code. This is an "Application design" question, which is part of what trq was hinting at.
