SmokyHosts Support Forums - Webhosting and Webdesigning Support!

I can:

-install PHP scripts
-make some modifications
-'clone' a database and back it up, or use the copy, on another host.

I can't face writting 'real code'.

What I need (I'm not looking for someone to do this for me, I just want to know "if it will be really hard to do")

-I have a decent quality (paid for) affiliate script with some really good features, but you 'are only as strong as your weakest link'.
-Affiliates can count on sales tracking accuratly, but the script doesn't tell them how many sub-affiliates (standard 'two-tier' not the dreaded MLM) they have.

I need to make a 'simple' (ha :lol: :lol: ) 'module' which queries the existing tables and shows the number of 'first-level' sub-affiliates, for a member who is logged-in.

Is this going to be tough for a first timer (I've learned a lot, while avoiding writting code (yuck).

Thank you very much,
MGH

Its not very difficult. You just need to do good database structure and using php create a relationsips. Try to begin and contact me if you face dificulties. But do not as me to write it for you from scratch, i just can HELP you create, i can fix problems and can suggest if you will need my suggestion.
I think i'm not the best at databases but i think my knowledge will be enough to help you to develope what you need
Contact me if you face any problems

"i can fix problems and can suggest if you will need my suggestion. "

That's really nice.

I'm used to tools (crutches), like Dreamweaver for example, which do things for me, but I know some things can't be done that way.

Thanks

i dont realy know about this. is Dreamweaver work??

Dreamweaver for PHP/MySQL coding? I thought Dreamweaver was a WYSIWYG editor like FrontPage... client-side.

I wasn't clear:

-Dreamweaver is a 'crutch', something to avoid having to learn code.

-Front-page (at least in 1999-2000, when I tried it) is a sad, worthless joke.
-Dreamweaver is powerful and very cool for not only just HTML/ WYSIWYG and...
-These days it is tightly integrated with ASP, Coldfusion, and JSP (if you have some of those skills it will help a lot),
-It offers 'some support' for PHP/MySql.

I started this thread because I need to query an existing database for users who are 'logged in', and have never done that before. I understand many things about programming, but have never learned to write code.

Thanks,

does not seem very hard to do
