Need a simple program made (probably using PHP): Details inside. Post your prices...

    I am thinking about learning PHP and creating a program that I need. I think it's a pretty simple program and but I just want to see how much people would charge for creating it. I'm looking for very low offers, otherwise I can learn PHP myself (and also learn a new skill). Post you prices.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Here's the program I want (it's pretty simple, it may look long because I have explained everything!):

    1. First I have text file or data base full of 11 digit random numbers like : 48928444123, 82938412345,12682839427, etc

    2. I need to assign letters to each number. Imagine each number corresponds to a set of letters forexample:
    1 = A, B
    2 = C, D
    3 = E, F

    3. Now I need to create a program such that when people search for a word, the word is converted into numbers and then a search for these digits is carried out within the numbers in the text file.

    (Forexample a person searches for the word : "ACE", going by the corresponding numbers in step two this becomes "123". Then the program looks through the numbers in the text file to find 11 digit numbers which contain "123" and gives out the results: e.g. 48928323123, 82938412345)

    4. I then need the program to replace "123" in those numbers with the searched word(i.e. "ACE"). e.g. 48928323ACE, 829384ACE45 and displays them.

    -----

    5. Next thing is I want an automatic system which enters words from an online dictionary and searches for the words within the 11 digit numbers in the text file and then displays the numbers which contain words.

    I also want it to find combinations, forexample if it searches for "PIG" and also another word, "DUCK" and then there's a number 85686547654, such that it contains 8568654DUCK, 8PIG6547654, and then also gives out the combination such that we get 8PIG654DUCK. Note that if we had 8568654DUCK and 85686PIG654, they could not be combined.

    So basically what I want is to find all the words and word combinations contained withing the 11 digit numbers.

    -----
    6. Next thing is that say you fill in a form, say you enter you Full Name and Date of Birth (Day/Month/Year). Now say someone enters the following details:

    Full Name: Tod Kirk
    Date Of birth: 23/08/1982

    Now I want it the program to search for John, Kirk, 23, 08, 1982, within the 11 digit numbers in the text file and then, say if there is a number 23738471982 such that it gives results: Tod38471982, 237Kirk1982, 23738471982. It then also combines them to form another result: TodKirk1982, and displays them and also stores them.

    -----
    7. All I will be doing is adding new numbers to the text file from time to time, easily without effecting any of the above but I want the new added numbers to be included in the searches.

    That's it! Post your prices...

    Ok maybe I should give examples for each step:


    1. Say the text file contains the 11 digit numbers numbers:

    21083232113
    11365061982
    95493210312

    2. Imagine each number corresponds to letters below:

    1 = ab
    2 = cd
    3 = ef
    4 = gh
    5 = ij
    6 = kl
    8 = mn
    9 = op
    0 = qr



    3. Now say someone searches for "car"

    The search finds:

    21083748594 >> CAR83748594
    95493210931 >> 95493CAR931


    5. Imagine a few of the dictionary words are "Car" and "Pig" and "Read". The search finds:

    21083232113 >> Car83232113 >>Car
    95493210312 >> 95493Car312 >>Car
    95493210312 >> Pig93210312 >>Pig
    95493210312 >> 9549321Read >>Read
    95493210312 >> Pig93Car312 >>Car & Pig
    95493210312 >> Pig9321Read >>Pig & Read

    Note: "Car" and "Read" cannot occur together.


    6. Imagine someone enters the name and date of birth as:

    Name: Abe Kirk
    Date of Birth: 23/08/1982

    Then the search finds:
    11365061982 >> 11365061982 >>1982
    11365061982 >> Abe65061982 >>Abe
    11365061982 >> 113Kirk1982 >> Kirk
    11365061982 >> Abe65061982 >>Abe & 1982
    11365061982 >> 113Kirk1982 >> Kirk & 1982
    11365061982 >> AbeKirk1982 >> Abe & Kirk
    11365061982 >> AbeKirk1982 >> Abe & Kirk & 1982
    21083232113 >> 21083232Abe >>Abe
    21083232113 >> 21083232113 >> 23 (Day of birth)
    21083232113 >> 21083232Abe >>Abe & 23

    I'm looking for offers under $50. Doubt it's hard to program at all.

    I'll do this for $45

    2 day turnaround, probably faster. Can you send through paypal? I require 50% upfront.

    For past work see www.phpcmd.com - I developed the software there.

    You can have this done under 50 USD for sure, but possibly from an outsourced company or individual in Asia. Its nice for educational purpose by the way, learn it, my advise.
