PHP/MySQL Project For Video Distributor

**Marcom Projects Website ** This project is for the re-development of an existing website. The artwork has been completed for the new website but I need help with the programming. The projects main requirements are a user login, search facility combined with a shopping cart and a content management system. The project will be in PHP/MySQL although experience with MS SQL Server and Sybase SQL Anywhere will be helpful. Check out <[login to view URL]> to see the old site. The new site will be very similar to the existing site. With the following differences: 1) The old site was in ASP/MS SQL Server The new site will be PHP/MySQL 2) The old site was very slow... this needs to be remedied 3) The new site is a fair bit more graphical and this ties in the content management system. 3) For the search... relevance is needed e.g. 80% based on the keywords entered and its corresponding matches in the database. I am a programmer so I will be able to help out as needed... That said ... I am also looking for someone to work independently and quickly. A object oriented approach would be preferred. The use of open source code is also encouraged. I would prefer an existing open source script be customised rather than a complete custom solution. I can provide information on scripts available. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.

I have created a couple of videos to illustrate the specifications. 1) CMS Section (front page) [login to view URL] Notes: - No graphic design needed just html and css formatting. I can provide you with any graphics you need. - I have some ideas on how you can implement it... to get you started. 2) Search/Login/Shopping Cart Section [login to view URL] Notes: - I can provide source code and sample DB for the existing site (ASP/MSSQL) - The new site will have similar functionality to the old website but with a few changes and incorporating the new design. - Using PHP and MySQL on a Windows Server using IIS. - No payment gateway interaction needed… emails orders to a set account. - Remember members shopping carts (store in database) - Users should also be able to add notes to items in their shopping cart. - Database structure will need to have some backwards compatibility as the client has an application that will push the product data to the websites database. - ** Relevance based search results .e.g. like in Google give a percentage ranking to each result. - old site is very slow… new site needs to be fast Timeframe: 1-2 months Extra notes: I can provide assistance with any problems. I am an experienced programmer but have a bit too much work on at the moment to fully handle this project by myself. Thanks ## Platform - Windows Server 2003 hosting/IIS - PHP - MySQL
