How to make a classifieds page?

I am working on making a local classifieds website. I want a person to be able to select different search criteria. I will have selections to search by town and category. So that a person can select something like “Chicago, Peoria, cars” so that it will search all of the listings that are in Peoria or Chicago and are listed under cars.

What would be the best way to do this? Also any specifics would be really helpful.

I tried searching the internet for suggestions, but don’t even know what to really look for.

Thanks in advance.

I think the best way to do this would be to have a database and to use a server side script like php or asp. I would suggest php and a mysql database. It is easier to learn IMHO. You can look for tutorials online, or you might try a book. Creating a dynamic website is a little difficult and can seem overwhelming at first. You can always ask for help here or you might try hiring some help if you need it.

I concur

That is not exactly what I was trying to do, but thanks for the help.

What does MySQL do? How does it work and is it easy to use?

Also how did you add the search?

Thanks for the help
