I would like to have a feature on my website: There is an archive or a list, or some type of simple database ppl can look at online. A user, can submit an entry to the list. Each submission in the list has a bunch of notes about it. Users can add their own notes to each existing entry as well. Here is an example (not the real one, just hypothetical): I have a list online with a bunch of sex offenders. Users can add new offenders who are not listed to the list, as well as add notes to the existing offenders. Notes would consist of "always hanging around schools", "likes to ride around on bicycles", etc... I would like the system to be very simple in terms of managing it (I wouldn't want to keep editing/ managing thins manually, via HTML). I would like the users to do all the managing. I think the ideal way would be a form which they can fill out allowing them to create either new entries, or adding notes to existing entires. Sorry if this was confusing, but to me it seems fairly simple. I'd be happy to answer questions if it is unclear. Also, is this very difficult (a few hours/days of work?), or is it something that a good programmer can make in 20-30 minutes? Thanks guys.
This would be a fairly simple thing todo in php/sql, if what you describe is the same thing i understand. Basically a list of entrys and then you can make comment on these entries, the users submit it themselves using a form, the data is the stored in a sql database, and read and displayed in a list /w entries when the page loads. I'd say this would be a 1-4 hours of work.
