Hi,

what you can do is approach this problem in two ways:

1. Upload a PDF or DOC or what ever format
2. Make the user fill in all the information about his education, skills, and so on on a web page

If you choose method 1 you will have to look at where to store the uploaded information, in a database or on the filesystem, this is a solid solution but it'll have you thinking and working a lot and the person that registered his/her CV will have to upload a new one once in a while.

If you choose method 2 you can store all the information in a database and when the user wants to update it simply let him/her edit the information stored "live" so to say. Now after this you can either directly e-mail the change or the newly registered user to addresses that you store somewhere.

Just google for e-mailing with PHP it's pretty straight forward as I recall it.

Hope this helped

HI, many thanx for your reply, i really appericiate it.
I used method two and so far I made a form for job seeker to enter his infromation. The information entered by the user is stored in database. Now what i have done (i dunno it was the right choice), i made a CV (php file) and displayed all the information on the CV(php file), from the database.

Now i was thinking that how can i email CV to some employer when its in php format. Employer should have WAMP installed on his computer.
please tell me what to do.. how can i make a CV in (.doc format).

Send it as an attachment

re: how to implement CV builder

hi thanks for replying
but will that php file opened on user side if i send that file as an attachment

re: how to implement CV builder

Sorry i thought you wanted to send a .doc file.
Not sure what you mean by send a CV(php file).
Do you mean a web page? If you do then send a HTML email.

re: how to implement CV builder

Hi Muddasir,

if I understand everything correctly, you can't send the php file as an attachment or something like that. This is because the php-file probably reads from the DB and a lot of other things.

What you can do is send an e-mail containing all the information that you will be able to present in your php file.

This is probably the best way to go.

re: how to implement CV builder

What are you guys talking about?
I understand a PHP file as a script - PHP code - a .php type file
You surely don't want to email one of those?

re: how to implement CV builder

Hi,

that's my point, you can't send a php file and expect it contain the same values that it had on the server where it was executed.

My suggestion was so send an e-mail containing all the information that can be fetched using the php-file.
