I am starting on an online matchmaking/dating system in PHP/MySQL as part of my DWA (Designing Web Applications) project. I am looking through osDate codes to help me begin the project. Is there other source codes/online reference which I should look at to start coding? I tried looking for an online matchmaking script at Planet Source Code but could not find any - MENJ
Some advices: 1. Write up all functions you are planning to implement. All functions you can imagine - possible and impossible. 2. Define main functions you will develop and think about future functions 3. Create use-cases 4. Create object model of the system and try to make it, so you can implement new functions without core redesigning 5. Create database structure (you could use database designing tools, or could implement it on some db engine, for example MySQL) 6. Implement functionality using PHP, use template engine to put design outside 7. Add graphic design 8. Start up the project, invite people and look how it's working, 9. Grow up your project.
