    Hello ,

    so guys I have a pretty big problem.At first , I will describe what I actually want.So I want to create a page where people can fing recipes for cakes , meals ...There will be some categories like vegan , high protein and so on.Now , let's say the user choose vegan , then the master page should open(the master page) where for examlpe, 10 results are displayed(images and names of the recipes).When the user clicks on the picture or the name , they should see another side(the detail page) with a bigger pic , the ingredients...

    But there is a big problem.I am bloody noob and haven't the money for the 100$ extensions.
    And i have found no free web sites that can me explain this.How to do this.Could anyone write the code for me so i can replace the variables or may send me a tutorial how to do this , but really this what i need?

    What extension, exactly? Mysqli_ is a database interface in PHP (and maybe some other languages) - I don't understand what you need to buy?
    You'll need a domain, and you'll need to program some basic pages for this to work - the concept is pretty basic.
    A select-list with different options, select one, show results (on a new page, or just loaded on the same page), and if clicking on one, open up a new page (or, again, load it into the current page), and show the actual recipe and pictures.
    Apart from the mysqli_ restraint, you could do this in Wordpress - create categories for each recipe-type, add recipes to each category, have a search box and let the user chose one or more categories... I really don't see what the problem is?

    The first problem being that you're using Dreamweaver... *headdesk* It's a bloated piece of crap that doesn't help you in any way in creating a decent codebase.
    However, if you've already made the database, and have the page itself designed, changing code from mysql_ to whatever you want to do is not really that hard. I don't really understand why Dreamweaver / Adobe needs to charge for another "interface" but I assume it has to do with some stupid built-in "creator" bits that you have to pay for. Basically, mysqli_ is mostly the same as mysql_ except you have better security and future-proofing, but you'll have to think a little different.
    I'm sorry, but I won't be giving you any code examples, simply because I have no idea what you need, or what level you're at - since you're using Dreamweaver, I'm assuming you don't really know much code. Could you perhaps at least paste some of the current code you have for selecting recipes within a certain category, for instance? Also post the code that selects the category (the HTML / form). Remeber to paste it within [ code ]-tags (remove the spaces)
