Hello! I would like to start my own web page and some stuff will be offered to buy. I will use paypal. Could anyone tell me what should be the basic steps of designing this web site please? I will use "Dreamweaver". I know how to create layouts, but I need help on the following: There will be a subscription. Name, e-mail addr etc. Where this information should be stored? In mysql db? Then, user will be asked to transfer $ using paypal. Then what ? How the user should be allowed to see the content that he had paid for? Will I have to create any db using MS Access? Thanks in advance Thanks for Your help guys! it is realy usefull! I will not choose the best answer, because all of Your answers weight eaqualy Thanks once again!

    I developed this site, http://www.piratesurfcompany.com/products.htm , for my friend. It uses paypal. Very easy to setup with paypal control buttons. You just have to set the right attributes on the buttons. Paypal has a very easy tutorial on doing this. I don't use a db to store any information. In fact, the paypal account keeps track of all the transactions. Hope this helped...

    Check out PHP/MySQL combo such as WAMP.

    What does the server run that you will be hosting the site from. What db tech you use depends on what is supported by the servers. You will need to set up a back end that will process user input and compare it to what is in the db (or save it to the db). This could be ASP, PHP, ColdFusion, etc. and also depends on the server environment. Paypal has instructions on how to set up a payment page to accept payments from them. They can walk you through that.

    you are making it harder than it needs to be. here's what I did sign up @ startlogic.com for hosting, with full sql support. cheap! get your main site set up, then head over to hotscripts and search the php scripts and programs section for what you need. download the free ones, of course. set a database up on startlogic.com (log into vdeck, all the help is there) and upload/install the script.
