rocks Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'm trying to develop a business directory like yelp. if a user chooses a state EX; New York, then they could select any category they wanted about NY like Restaurants, Bars, Shopping. And if they wanted to look in Connecticut, all those categories should be about CT listings, and so on.What is the theory about this? Is it developed using sessions? I appreciate any clue you provide,Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmola Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 There are entire books written about this subject. Your choice of database/datastore will drive the solution, but in general, an individual listing would have one or more attributes that indicate its location. With that said, services like yelp are doing sophisticated geo-location these days, not to mention having a fairly constant data entry effort going on, in order to insure that businesses exist in their directories with full name + address + city + state/province + postalcode + country.
