    I am in need of some help with a php problem I am facing and I can not find it anywhere online so I am going to see if anyone of DP can help me.

    I am in the process of setting up a site like SideReel where users can submit their links to the site and then with a refresh the automatically pop up. Now I could not find a code in which the users can input a season, episode name, and link and then click submit so it will automatically appear within the site.

    Also I want this to add the season if it does not appear already within the category for the show. Could anyone give me some guidance on this or a code? I could pay a low amount for this if I can see an example but rather not :D

    First, you need some sort of database such as a text file, xml or an actual database such as mysql. Then you need to incorporate it to your script.

    My site is running a CMS that does require a MySQL database.

    Good then, create a new table, or add fields to an existing table (creating new is best, else the original cms might start giving errors)
    Then make a form which allows users to enter data. Use php to check and store in database. You can then either modify any existing code to make this new data appear there, or make a new seperate page for this.
    regards :)
