    Second wish today for a IMDb script. Searched the web, found some old scripts, but I found no script that fits my needs. As I am a PHP beginner, it's not that easy... :rolleyes:

    Thanks for reply.

    At a movie website some information about each movie is listed.

    I need a PHP script that shows:

    actors (cast) - real name and name in movie
    writers (screenplay and story)
    directed by (director(s), co-director)
    producer(s)
    executive producer(s)
    Music by

    It should work on mysql basis.

    Advanced functions may be:

    on clicking of a name a list should be generated about all activities in movies this person did before and will do

    As many movie sites did that before, I am wondering if they all did it at their own without using a well-known script.

    At the end I have no problem to pay a certain amount of money for it. But I have no budget, because I try to improve a small private movie site of mine.

    Ok means, You want a simple script.. where you have a facility to upload video, ,,, and it will automatically extract mention information (like actors, writer.. etc..) and stored it in database.... and you will able to see complete list of all movie and can able to see complete details when clicking on any link.........

    Yes! But no video upload. Those pages are existing. It should additionally be inserted in the layout and only show the above mentioned data.

    How can we go on?

    @Sillysoft: This is a great find! "IMDb Fetch" scrapes the pages of IMDb? (Don't worry about my questions... :) )

    I thought their's an API existing. Somewhere I read about the possibility of taking the data from IMDb, if you link from each page of your website to the page of the equal movie at IMDb.

    I think this would be a giant project?

    http://www.imdb.com/Licensing/

    http://www.imdb.com/help/licensing/contact
    "We offer licensing packages that start at US$15,000 per year." :eek:

    :(

    IMDb Database Structure
    http://www.imdb.com/Licensing/structure.html

    ---

    I absolutely cannot understand this. If this would be right, how should I pay US$15,000 per year? Or more.

    I know many small websites that are showing IMDb data, but none of them will earn US$15,000 a year...

    Perhaps this is not true and there are other possibilities... :cool:

    Thanks for your efforts. I think I have to ask them first, before continuing.

    VCD-db is a free script that does what you want. Although it appears it is not currently being worked on. Many have it working in a functioning way though.

    Link is http://vcddb.konni.com/
