recreating this quote system

[antonyx]

hi, i would like to draw your attention to this website

http://www.londonairporttaxi.co.uk

have a look at their airport transfer quote system..

i would like to recreate that application for my own website..

i have limited php knowledge but understand the fundamental concepts behind php and asp, and have vast knowledge of html and css.

i am currently transfering my domain to a package that supports php

how difficult would it be to recreate this application.. quite frankly i have no idea where to start.

It should not be hard at all to duplicate the functionality of that quote system.

I would start by gathering all the data your script is going to need to produce the prices, namely the prices per vehicle-type per postcode per airport.

After that, I recommend that you see what database system your hosting provider provides and learn about setting up tables in that database system.

Then read up in the PHP manual (

http://www.php.net/manual/en)

about PHP's support for your database system.

From there, it's just a matter of producing the form (possibly fetching value from your database to populate dropdowns) and writing a script that will accept input from that form, search the database, and return data to the user.
