| | OK, so looks like I'll have some free time coming up on this. I'll be executing a car trader for the country of Lebanon.
Since I know jack-all about ASP and only have a Linux server (yes, I'm cheap) I'll be going the MySQL / PHP route. This is what it will contain.
Account management where a user will add / edit / remove listings.
I know how to do the listing, just the account management to load each ones personal stuff will be something new for me. Searching by
Model / Location / Price. Now since there are WAY too many f'in car makes to list I was thinking that I will have people fill in
Car Make : ex. BMW
Car Model: ex. 520i Because if I make it a drop down list, or something else...I'll be sure to miss some cars. What do you all think? I'm hoping to make this something huge. I believe it will be...

| you could probably rip a db of cars from some other site. I think it would be easier in the long run to do it that way if you want to start making it searchable or browsable. If you find me a site with all the data you want i'll have a go a ripping it into a database for you.

| I'd have to agree with Proge here.... rip the db from somewhere. The chances are that if you let "joe public" enter their own car models, you'll end up with many types of the same car, and that will just make searching a bitch!!

| | OK, I guess that's the best way to do it. Makes sense, I hope proge can help me out with this one...sent ya PM For the time being, I'm gonna be focusing on the GUI. (I know, I'm doing things backwards). But just getting the general part of it done, cause that's what will need feedback the most I believe. Now, as for contacting the seller. Should I publicly list the phone numbers, or should I create a PM function that works without signing up and emails the seller?

| | Hrmm...yeah, I guess I could do that. Have an option to show personal contact information or allow users to contact through PM. I have no idea how to make the PM function though. I'll worry about it when I get to it... Anyway, this is how I'm thinking of doing the control panel/organizing things. Never done something so complex so tell me if it's right, or if there is an easier way. A person logs in with his account. ID (XY)
He adds a new entry to the database, one of the hidden fields for this new entry is the persons ID (XY).
Now when he logs in next time, I select the enteries that contain (XY)'s ID, from that hidden field. Is that how I should do it?
