[PHP] User generated Web pages?

2002-07-04 Thread Anthony Rodriguez

I'm trying to develop a software package for end users with no knowledge of 
PHP.  The package would allow these users to generate Web pages displaying 
a custom questionnaire to be used by consumers to answer questions online.

I thought of writing a PHP script that asks the end users the type of 
questions to be displayed, the questions themselves to be displayed, and, 
if required, the responses to be displayed.  This information would be 
stored in a MySQL database.

I then would write another PHP script that would dynamically generate the 
questionnaire based on the information stored in the MySQL database.

The types of questions include text fields, radio buttons, check boxes, 
menu selections, and text areas.

Is this the right approach or is there another way?

Thanks!

It's the right approach, but since you're dealing with large amounts of
user-contributed (untrusted, dangerous, suspicious, whatever) data both to
create the forms AND to gather information from form submissions, I'd be
very wary about security.

Infact, I wouldn't recommend it for a first project unless you've got some
form of programming experience in a simular web language.


Good luck!
