Need A Little Help :)

    As a brief intro, I have recently opened up my own movie streaming website. Sinc it is all manually edited in cPanel, there are a lot of features I must implicate. Here is one...REPORT LINK.

    The website is 100% HTML (apart from the stylesheet of course).

    the url is www*maynestream*net

    Click any movie randomly and you'll see that they have at least one or two links.
    Well I have to constantly check over these links which soon (as I'm adding hundreds of movies) will be very time consuming.
    I want to add a 'report (dead) link' feature
    How would I go about doing this is HTML/PHP/Javascript?


    As a suggestion, maybe some of the features:
    #when they click report a small popup window comes up with the Movie Name and the link reported.
    #They can then click a checkbox saying 'I Agree that I am Reporting an Invalid Link'
    #Then there is a submit button, and the report goes to my inbox.
    # if a movie is reported, if someone tries to report it again it says 'This link has already been reported, we'll look at it soon'. This would cut down on a lot of spam

    How would I go about doing this? I know this is probably simple but for me it's kind of complex.
    Oh and also functions and everything should have seperate pages to call upon and shouldn't be all run on the page
    itself -- this would make the code for a given page very long and since I'm manually editing everything in HTML will be harder for me

    IF YOU CAN HELP YOU MAY BE REWARDED. You'll get the warm feeling inside when you help out a noob. Okay who am I kidding that's
    a sh*t prize lol :p You'll get something through PayPal IF I get paid in time.

    ps. im sorry if my post is confusing as I am a bit tired and even confused on how to do it myself. so, if you need any additional information PM me or reply to this thread!!!

    THANKS AGAIN

    Make a HTML popup when sombody clicks the report button. Let them fill in a form and then let php store the form information in you MySQL database. Then make a new future in you Cpanel and use php to display the form information. As simple as that. You might find such a script if you search very well but you probably will need to code it yourself/hire a php coder.

    Thanks for your help Thomas, but I know the details (like you've explained) but can't actually progress from there!! I need REAL help (eg. with code)
    Thanks again though for your time.

    PS. www/tv-links/eu check out their report broken link script. Something like that would be perfect.

    Sounds to me like you would need a database to keep track of the pages, and to check their current 'report' status. Unfortunately, I'm unable to help you with the back-end coding but I'll keep an eye open on a script.

    Does your hosting account support PHP/MySQL?
