Can I get some experienced help plz...

Hey guys.

Haven't posted on the board recently because I have been playing with php and been real busy with school.

I was wondering if someone could steer me in the right direction concerning my question.

What I want to do is, I am making a travel site (agency) for my dads business and he wants the user to be able to fill out a form and based on mostly yes and no answers, bring up a php page that has been molded to their search criteria.

I got the php and mysql working and stuff. I even have the backdoor end all done, where he will add, edit, and delete records... anyone know if there are examples out there that will show me the basics to doing what I am trying to accomplish...

I am still a newbie so writing this from scratch would be hard, but with a little direction, I could likely pick it up quickly.

Thanks,

Jeff.

PS. Example of what I am asking above would be this:

If you visited my website you would be brought to a form. It would ask for destination, price range and if you were interested in certain packages. All the answers to these questions would be chosen using a dropdown menu with perdefined destinations, price ranges, and yes no answers....

From there I would like it to search the database for the destination they chose, within the price range, and meeting some of the yes/no criteria...

Can someone even try and point me in the right direction?

Well, what you are trying to do doesnt sound too hard to do at all, i have been using php for 4 months or so and it would be a sinch for me.

I dont think there would be much i could do to help, but how far along with php are you? All you really need to know is form handling and a bit of database basics. I suggest going to hotscripts.com under the php section and get a tutorial on search engines/form handling or just download a script.

Hope i helped.

colturkey, thank you so much for your response.

I went there and found some awesome scripts that I used for reference.

Between that and me hiring a little help until I master this, I am good now.

Thank you,
