PhP question about functionality.

[n88n]

THanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

I have no idea what php does, but I have a need for a solution that someone said php would do for me. i would like to verify of disprove this.

I am looking to have a website that allows people to buy products from my wesite, via paypal or what ever, then be ableto instantly download files. This would require the user to have a temporary link, say 48 hours, to page where the user can download the files that I sold them. I want this to be automatic so I do not have to monitor my pages 24/7.

Does this sound like PHP?

This is something that PHP definitely does well, but without any knowledge of PHP, you're best off paying someone to do this for you, or purchasing a turn-key solution.

Thanks for the response guys.

I definately know nothing about PHP, but I know lots of other programming languages and certainly understand programming concepts. You guys think this is to hard for me to learn? Is PHP extremly hard as a whole or just the task that I am trying to complete?

If you understand programming basics, then it should be extremly easy for you too learn..
If you know Basic, VBasic, C , Pascal etc... its structured much like those.
It is server side so you can open and managed files, etc

I think what PHP have a big popularity becaus: It's Fast, Siply, Flexibly...

Your suggestion was to pay someone to do it. At $50 per hour?

This is a custom script that works well and the author's support is top notch. Price is the same whether through affiliate link or not.
