Hi all, firstly being a newbie, I would like to ask if you don't know the best place for a topic where should you post ?

I was told this would probably require php or there may be a prewritten php script, hense why I'm posting here.

I am looking for a 2 way feedback rating system, similar I suppose to what ebay has but on a much smaller scale, can anyone advice how this can be done

Many Thanks

D

can you elaborate more ?

Hi, I'll try On the site professionals can post jobs/profiles etc

For example if there is a builder and he has employed a electrician to work with him on a project, when the project is complete they can both leave each other feedback that will be viewable on the web site for others to see.

Does that make sense? I not only need to know how to do it, but the best way

Thanks

Why not try using the source code of a guest book to make this
or comment box source code and modify it like(youtube's comments)

PHP and AJAX would be the best way forward, but I would not recommend something like ebay hehe. I've made something similar with a star system (like youtube) if your interested.

do you want anyone to rate anyone ... or only those that have been working with one another .... and one rating per job/project ?

All you need is a drop select, a MySQL database, and knowledge of PHP. Now, if you view each item from a submission in a database and you use a variable in the url:
(e.g. http://site.tld/dir/item.php?id=16)
-----
You will likely do something like this:

PHP Code:

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
<select name="rate">
 <option value="1">Bad: 1</option>
 <option value="5">Good: 5</option>
 <option value="10">Best: 10</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="sub" value=" Submit " />
</form>
 
<?php
 
//Connect to DB Here
 
if(isset($_POST['sub'])){
  $id=$_GET['id'];
  $sql="SELECT rate FROM item WHERE id='$id'";
  $result=mysql_query($sql);
  $row=mysql_fetch_array($result);
  $rate=$row['rate'];
  // if have no counter value set counter = 1
  if(empty($rate)){
    $rate=1;
    $sql2="INSERT INTO item(rate) VALUES('$rate') WHERE id='$id'";
    $result2=mysql_query($sql2);
  }
// count more value
$addrate=$rate += $_POST['rate'];
$sql3="update item set rate='$addrate' WHERE id='$id'";
$result3=mysql_query($sql3);
mysql_close();
?>
 
Rating: <?php echo $row['rate']; ?>

There are, of course, scripts on SourceForge that are pretty easy (with a little knowledge of PHP) to edit and bend to what you want it to do.
