DB Driven, Searchable Product Application

[redzonne]

I am working on a real estate showcase site that would allow subscribers to post their properties online. I want to put together an application that -

(A) would automatically generate an HTML module (that would be listed 12 to a page) that would feature a thumbnail pict (uploaded by user) of a specific property and brief specs that if clicked, will lead to a DB driven dynamically generated extended detail HTML page for each entered property.

(B) allow vistors to search gallery of properties based on the below criteria:
a. City or Zip Code
b. Price Range (Min to Max or No max)
c. Property Type
d. Bedroom Count
e. Bathroom Count

I know this sounds like a very ambitious endeavor for a newbie! Could anyone point me to some project specific relevant tutorials or previous posts that would help me put whole picture together?

Thanks all!

Start with the first steps:
1. Design your table layout on the db end.
2. Write the connection code and pull data.
3. Learn how to display the retrieved data.

Did you decide what DB server to use?
Consider in the layout of the tables that:
-) there need to be unique IDs for each entry
-) don't store images in the database, just references

Plenty of steps to take...
