This is my task and I'd like some direction please:
1. Print company that houses user PDF files
2. User logs in and is brought to his own area
3. Dynamic customer inventory page is displayed based on PDF files in
a home directory (It would be nice if the MetaTag in a PDF file could
be used here)
4. Inventory page is also "order" page that allows for the ordering of
cases of printed items
5. Each inventory item will have a place for entering a number of
cases to be ordered
6. Order is submitted and emailed to owner of company who inputs
manually into billing system
Please point me in the right direction,
Derrick

Are you a PHP programmer? Or are you asking what you should be paying
people to do?
If you are the programmer, check out PHP's PDF functions, which I
think you can use to grab some meta data: http://php.net/pdf
Have you ever developed a PHP website before? Are you asking
specifically how to lay out your code?

echo $companyName;
But not knowing where the company name is stored maxes further
discussion impossible.
2. User logs in and is brought to his own area
No biggie - keep user id and password where you can access it, and save
appropriate info in the session.
3. Dynamic customer inventory page is displayed based on PDF files in
a home directory (It would be nice if the MetaTag in a PDF file could

PDF metatags don't normally contain this information. And it's very
difficult to parse a PDF file for this info if you don't have the exact
format of the PDF in the first place. XML is the typical way to go here.
4. Inventory page is also "order" page that allows for the ordering of

No problem - if you can get the inventory.
5. Each inventory item will have a place for entering a number of
cases to be ordered
Easy enough.
6. Order is submitted and emailed to owner of company who inputs
manually into billing system
No real problem - although automatically entering it would be better.

Way too broad to cover in a newsgroup. You need to at least get the
basic design down. Or pay someone to do it for you.

Thank you for the replies.
I am COMPLETELY new to php.
I was giving a broad overview of my task and asking for direction
because I need a starting point. I don't even know how to search
properly because I don't know the php jargon to use as keywords.
I have a little more to go on now - thanks to you guys.

I used following code to scan & list directory contents (including all
subdirectories). It turns out that subdirectories are NOT recognized as
directories when the function is called in a recursive way.
In other words when function scans a subdirectory no directories inside are
recognised as directories therefore it cannot scan ti's contents.

Hi -
I'm hoping for help with the auto-generation of a hyperlinked listing
of all files in a directory. The server I use does not auto-generate
this. So, when someone comes to this directory and thus opens
index.htm, I want that file to show a listing of all files in the
directory with hyperlinks to them.
Thanks for the help,

I am looking for a Perl script that will do a cleaner job of listing the contents of a directory than what Apache does on its own.
