    Aye, read the title :p

    I want to setup a directory, with 3-4 categories and a few pages with names of people. When the name of a person is clicked, I want it to go to a page with information about that person, as well as a link to their website at the bottom.

    Any help? :eek:

    Hmm, I want it to 'look' like a directory if you understand what I mean :eek:

    It'll pretty much be like a WikiPedia, but with names ie

    Category A

    Person One
    Person Two

    Category B

    Person One
    Person Two

    And when the person's name is clicked, it'll take them to a page with a few details/testimonials and a link to their website.

    As for directory scripts, are the free/ paid (if so, ballpark figure); any good names you can pass along?

    Thanks for the help! :)

    That wouldn't really look like a directory, would it? I want users to be able to freely edit content :confused:

    Think of a directorized WikiPedia :p

    phpWiki would work best for what you're trying to do.
