"Zero2Cool"dj, would you be willing to help me with this project? You're PHP skills are far superior to mine. I'm only good editing existing code.
I could figure it out on my own, but having a genius help me would speed things up for shizzle.

I'll see what I can do. Schools a bit heavy now but come this weekend I might be able to set aside some time.

Oh, you're in school. No worries, I don't want to take up any of your time. I know how it is with school, so no worries bud. :) I'm sure I'll figure it out. You've given me a great starting point. Thanks.

lol 4chan?

did u get ur form to work??
i work with php/mysql
database driven forms A LOT.
check boxes,radio buttons, drop down lists all the time.
i do not think the code posted is correct.
keep in mind u may have to edit more than 1 file and 1 function.

is there a template file
a class file
and a db file
and a index file
so to get the data to post to the database, and display on the form u may have to edit more than 1 file and 1 function. also, do you want to edit the selection, and give the user the ability to change a selection.

PHP is like c or java. u may need to edit a class and the functions within that class.

I haven't worked further on it. Kind of strapped for time.

My goal for this project is to link it with the website's database but only read the members column. Then upload the data to a separate database built specifically for this.

What you see above, is all I have thus far. I have an example of connecting to a db, reading, updating, importing, but storing the picks into variables TO be processed into the db is my flaw.

i will shoot you some code samples next week. say tues night.
i work programming during the week and had a long day today.
I work on forms all the time, its all i do.

i have used vb.net and ektron, but really got started doing classic asp. i have been doing php forms since july 1. basically, adding drop downs, radio buttons, check boxes, text feilds and validation to a program that already exists.

like i said PHP is like java or c. you have to edit several files and several functions for the program to work properly.

I've been programming professionally in VB.NET for two years. That's my strong spot, thus, me wanting to use ASP.NET :)

I did Java and C++ in college. I can 'do' it, if I have to, but not a fan of C++.

PHP and HTML I've been doing on/off for nearly a dozen years. I've built from the ground up with HTML, and with PHP I've only manipulated what I've seen to do as I want.

Just so you know the kind of dumb programmer you're working with here, lol.

Thinking more about this ...
This will all be with one database. I'll export the members from the website db, into the nfl picks db.
I'm siding with making this a module built into the website, not sure yet.
There will be several pages...
Log In
Current Standings
Weekly Winner
Each Week's Picks (with submit and finalize options) This means you can submit your picks, come back to them the day prior to the game, change them and hit 'finalize' to finalize your picks.

I think this is fairly simple to do,
but don't have the time to get it all done. I was hoping to have it done this off season, but with ASP.NET. And after paying for two extra hosting packages and failing to meet my speed requirement for the forums, I've decided PHP is the best option as I know I can learn it, slowly but surely, lol.






Any help from you or dj is greatly appreciated or anyone else
whom wants to help out.

well, you are on the right track 4-sho.

1 database
4 tables

Log In table
Current Standings table
Weekly Winner
table
Each Week's Picks table

now, you'll need your login page
this will have a
template page
a class page
a login.php page
a db class page

a current standings page

this will have a
template page
a class page
a db class page

Weekly Winner
page
this will have a
template page
a class page
a db class page

Each Week's Picks page
this will have a
template page
a class page
a db class page

with in the class pages, you will put your functions to store and retrieve your data as well as the functionality to save pics and change the picks..

what do you think.

BTW do not get me started talkin about programming. i am an junkie. i just started 4 years ago. two years of school, got hired for a fullt time programming job before i even graduated. worked 14 months full time, then the next 5 months part time.

i have received no training, just been cut loose on live projects since day 1. i've coded in cold fusion, vb6, vb.net, classic asp, sql, javascript, css, html, mysql, php.

mainly doing various database driven forms and validation. no fancy graphics or code editors.

my week is over no more coding for this week, & i'm going fishing. chat next week.

I thought we scrapped this project with the failed host move.. but the design that DH has listed looks pretty solid overall.. +1.

However maybe link the login credentials from here to the other app..
