Page Generate Script

I have a question before I start making my own, maybe theres an OS or GNU of this script already available, please share. or if its for sale its ok too.

Heres what the script should or nearly ought to do:

A visitor registers on the site (or main page of the script, with username, e-mail and password), then the scripts generates a folder named after the username, e.g. if username is "demonhale" , and the site is at "www.12345.com", then "demonhale's" folder is now "www.12345.com/demonhale"... demonhale is provided a page with available options to edit the page content (single page, more pages upon discretion).
This would look like a default page the admin coded.

Theres an admin panel to monitor registrants and generated folders and pages.
and the main page should contain user search or something.

Just to be clear I dont want it to be like multiply or friendster.

I found something like what I said above although it lacks an editing function on the members page and is coded in perl, uses cgi ... If theres a php version of this, thats what I would like...LINK HERE

Hello,

I wrote a class the can handle the most of this features you're asking for:
http://www.finalwebsites.com/snippets.php?id=10

there is some code you have to write but this should not be the problem, I don't think there is a solution "out of the box"

I want to make something simillar for one of my projects, but it seems that there is no 'ready to run' solution for it.

You should defenetly write some code :)

@olaf thanks for the link

You guys tried the link I provided? If anyone could reinterpret it to php it would be easier to modify after that, and we can make an opensource project out of it, I scoured the web for solutions and I found no easier method. Although theres 2 plugins for WP, and another for mambo/joomla , they are all too cumbersome...

The bad thing with perl is that it does not worth to intepret as it is so different than php.

It would be much faster to write the script from scratch as the philosophy would not be the same.

For example to keep track of a session in Perl you need about 30 lines of code while in php you need 3 :)

Yeah thats my problem, its easy for me to understand php than perl, the example link I provided seems easy in implementation when you look at it (based on concept) ... but when I try coding it, I do a hit and miss in php... The sad thing also is im really not good at php coding although ive done some php, i would rather be using VB, not the dot net version...

Maybe Ill run a coding contest or something when I cant resolve it in a month...

If you are good in VB (which is the worst language I ever learned) it will be easy to learn php.

For a script like this you must be very carefull as there would be security risks that you will have to bypass.

My opinion is to start it, and post fragments of your code to the forum, so people here would help you make it better and safer.

Actually there is a out-of-box run, go to: KASL.info, called webhost its free and open-source, and theres also a Admin panel. :)

do you noticed their revenue model to sell stocks? nice idea!

I'm working on something similar: myramid.net and haven't found any good out of the box solution for it. My site is all custom coded.

If you don't actually need that directory but you just want to display it in the url, then mod_rewrite is the way to go :)

Yes, thats the way I'm doing it as well.

Well my scripts for KASL web-host is 100% custom made as well as the other software.

If you need some coding help or something don't hesitate to ask, also check our code could help some. :)
