Hi folks, I'm fairly experienced with PHP and Mysql but just started learning about Cakephp tonight. I'm interested in building a (simple, at least at first) web page that: 1. Asks the user several questions, contains checkboxes, etc (using ajax forms) 2. based on their answer criteria, builds a Word document and stores it for download.
On the backend, a mysql database would contain a table with blocks of document data (paragraphs). Depending on which options they select, the final word document would be built using the selected criteria. Example - I'll use a car building analogy: Page Form - Building a car: 1. Color - choices, red, blue, green 2. Seats - leather, cloth 3. Steering wheel - yes, no (heh) Let's say the user selects a red car with leather seats and no steering wheel. Once the form is submitted, the database would query the "color", "seats", and "steering" tables and pull document paragraphs from them, place them into a Word doc with headers, footers, pretty pictures, etc. and make the document available for download. Am I making sense here? Would anyone here be willing to just give me a kick start on the code? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
