Description:	My budget is £150 I doubt this will make me money...it's simply an experiment on what webmasters will pay for...and how much they'll pay (can you tell I'm bored!!!) Shouldn't be hard for competent php programmer Overview Link Directory - auction driven Simple site - I'll do design around your php code (which will need plenty of placemarkers so I know where to put <table> etc User submits his URL with Title, URL, 3 keywords The first character of the Title will determine under which letter/number his link will be placed. User selects amount to pay for link Goes through to my PayPal account and pays Payment made? YES - PayPal returns to page which automatically approves the listing and link is built NO - message given "no payment no link" Letters and Numbers across top of each page[0-9, a-z] When clicked on these bring up the listings whose first character was that letter or number in order of highest bidder. ie:- a.php brings up listings whose Titles start with letter "A" b.php brings up listings whose Titles start with letter "B" c.php brings up listings whose Titles start with letter "C" Listing thus: <a href="xxx.com"><b><h1>Title</h1></b></a><br> <h4>Description</h4><br> <a href="xxx.com"><h4>URL</h4></a><br> <small>[This link cost $x] [increase bid]</small> NOTE...please use css for the size of fonts The <h1> stuff shows the effect I want If you use style sheets I can play with that until I get look I am after "This link cost $x" signifies the amount that link cost "increase bid" asks the bidder if he wants to bid again If bidder wants to increase his bid the previous amount he has paid will count towards new listing For example if he previously bid at $10 for his site titled "Birmingham Hotels" which gave him top spot in "B" page and somebody just bid $15 to automatically get number one spot then he can bid $6 to regain top spot All bids are in increments of $1 On every page is a section inviting viewers to submit their URL's The amount they pay will determine their position on that page Front page will show details of the top 25/35/45 bids for the whole directory (amount determined by admin) Similarly to get on front page viewers will know how much they need to spend. Admin back end required to Add/Edit/Delete all entries If this cannot be automated through Paypal then admin will need to manually allocate "points" for each listing in which case the payment notification from PayPal will need to carry details of the Title and URL ....but ideally one of you guru's will know how to automate this The script should be able to run in conjunction with other scripts running on same page if possible I have a budget of $150 for this I'll be extremely lucky to get a tenth of that back (if anything!!) but it'll be fun seeing if it works or not. Happy Bidding Additional information submitted: 05/01/2007 at 18:46 EDT: Urm.....just in case... Pagination is required in this format [Previous Page] Page 1 of xx [Next page] 05/01/2007 at 18:53 EDT: last addition - I promise !! search.php search box on every page which goes through to search.php When user submits his site he is also asked for 3 keywords search.php will show results when those keywords are searched for again in order that bidders have paid (highest bidder is top place) 05/01/2007 at 19:12 EDT: uh oh....here's another tweak (so I'll increase my budget to $200 for the lot) on submission user is asked for email when a new bidder comes in for ANY category an email is generated by the system which goes to EVERY bidder he has beaten "Sorry - it's bad news - somebody just outbid you on xxx.com" Please go to xxx.com/yyy.php and consider if you want to regain that position you had" "yyy" is the page he is listed on Budget is now $200
