    Could you give us a little more information on what you need/mean. Do you need the database more for storing essays, or so that your users can upload them and then get them automatically assigned links?

    If you could give a little bit more information, I would be more than happy to help you.:D

    Hi,

    Sorry my post was a bit vague. :)


    Basically i want to start a site where students can read the work of other students, and also can upload their own essays.


    I basically need some content to get started, hopefully a few thousand essays in a mysql databse.

    They dont have to be A-Grade... i wont be selling them.

    Cheers
    Adam

    Sorry for not replying for a while... I was just looking through some of the old posts I was subscribed to, and I found this.

    What particular part do you need help with?

    Creation of the database or sourcing the content?

    Just noticed your post sorry, I am not too sure you would be helping students exactly, however being a student myself I see your motivation. Many essay banks provide information for students to use to cheat in coursework etc. I do hope this isnt your goal?

    Hi Guys,

    diarmuid: I need help with sourcing the content


    stevogarvey: Its always a great help to see what other students have written. When i was at high school and university i found it a great help to read other students work than those boring textbooks. Also gives you other perspectives on topics.

    If people want to use it to cheat than i believe the problem lies with them.
