Solve : Redirect service? |
|
Answer» If you look at [link=http://gare.nl]this[/link] - dutch - site, you can see a rederect service. I thought it was complicated, but I heard from someone the whole site is only 7 files. Does anyone knows how to make such service? I don't speak Dutch. What does it do? I'll try to explain as good as possible, but you know, my english is bad, terrible. Strange, but the service doesn't work at this moment, but I'll explain. These are the possibilities of the site:
The register function, has the following abbility's: Asking your disired subdomain* , asking your name, asking your email) If you have registered (and the subdomain* is avaible) SEND an e-mail to the e-mail adres, and there you need to active (so you are sure that the email exist) the abbility to check if the subdomain is allready in use (and if it is, the abillity to check who registered it (show the name & email that you typed while registering the abbility to show the last 5 registerd subdomains* *= NOTE: by subdomain I DON'T mean: yourchosendomain.blackberry.com but I DO MEAN blackberry.com/your chosen domain, I know subdomain isn't the right therm for it, but I don't know an other way to say it right.... I know this looks a really complicated system (all that text) but actually it's just a few boxes and a small system. I don't need other special things, no hard things (like an myqsl data base, because I know this is way to much work) so PERHAPS anyone can help me with this one, pleas... Although at the front, this looks quite simple, the PROGRAMMING behind it is not so simple.If a client wished me to build such a system, I would estimate 3-5 days of coding and testing, for which I would charge over £1000 (US$1,900). You will need a database for this, since you will be storing data - even if it's only in flat files. Using a real database would make perfect sense here, and MySQL would be my choice. I would say this sounds like a FAIRLY ambitious project for you; I'm willing to help with the concepts and provide pointers for implementation, but I think you'll have to do the learning/work. Unless you particularly want to pay me. Why you will need a database, you can store anything in a .txt file?Yes, but what will you be storing in that text file? Data. Don't shy away from databases - they provide a MUCH more efficient (up to several orders of magnitude) method of handling and accessing data. If a system like this were to become large and you were still using text files, it would grind to a halt. With MySQL however, you could access and maintain all the data in less than a fraction of a second. The other advantage of using a real database is that it encourages you to look at your data in a particular way: it creates consistency, logical development and implementation, and it has a very high geek factor!!! MySQL is not that scary. There are plenty of tutorials about. You wouldn't regret learning. |
