stjimmy Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Lord, I dont even know how to begin... I have been trying to get an apartment exchanging site going. In Sweden it is common to rent your apartment and people often swap apartments with each other. Im trying to create a script (site) where people can do this. But I am a lousy programmer. I basically only know how to alter php since working many years with phpbb-forums. What I need to learn is how to create a match like this: 1.) Person adds his appartment. He puts in info like how many rooms, how much rent and the size of the apartment. 2.) After this he fills in a form with the exact same fields but this time what he wants to have 3.) Another person puts in an ad that meets the first persons needs and there is a match. I have no clue how to even start. Would be even more amazing if there could be a 3-part-match like "No1 wants No2 who wants No3 who wants No1". Is this complicated to do? I have asked on one too many forums now and always been ignored so I hope this active forum can help me. I can concider paying someone for writing a script like this and helping me integrate it into my site.

roopurt18 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 If you want to pay someone to do this for you, ask a mod to move the post into the freelance forums. If you want to attempt to write this yourself, I'd search the net for how to create HTML forms and start there.

stjimmy Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 I really want to be able to do this myself, but if someone would write it for me I would probably learn a lot from just watching the code. I know how to create a form, I know webbdesigning pretty well, but I am no good programmer and no mysql pro exactly. But thank you for pushing me into the first real step forward. So forms is where I begin... Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/68085-trying-to-create-a-match-thing/#findComment-342247 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stjimmy Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Maybe someone can inform me of a good free matchmaking script because basically what I need to learn is how to create automatic matchmaking with php and mysql.

Wuhtzu Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 There is no way a single thread can cover this and I don't think you can find any "match making script" you can modify to your needs. You basically need to learn PHP. Get some books about the subject or read tutorials on the internet: PHP Intro: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_intro.asp http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/php PHP and MySQL: http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/phpmysql Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/68085-trying-to-create-a-match-thing/#findComment-342766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stjimmy Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 Yeah I guess you are right. Thank you, I will try to learn something. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/68085-trying-to-create-a-match-thing/#findComment-342787 Share on other sites More sharing options...

stjimmy Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 I will. I realized you cant build a house without even knowing how to start. You cant dive into a project and exepect everyone else to solve things for you.
