Well, I don't think you can actually upload directly to a web page.I think you will need a Database/CMS system or at least a CMS using Flat Files. (Or maybe a Forum Software?)There are Open Source Auction Scripts which might work. Fantastico has at least one, but I can't recall the actual name.It will allow fixed price or buy-it-now auctions, I believe.Make some good posts and get a Hosting Account here at the Xisto. You will need a Hosting Service regardless of whether you write the Script or install a package, right??? This one is a good as, (or better than), many paid Hosts, so do yourself a favour and save some money by using the Xisto.

i think there is no way you can export data directly to a webpage...

 

the only suggestion i get give is, try to let the customer give their description to the product they like to posts..

 

and if you want to look the page like an html page... add fckeditor to your posting area..

Well methinks you could have the user upload the file to a temp directory on the server, then use PHP to open that file and read the contents to a variable, delete the original file and then copy the info from the variable into a webpage using FWRITE and then save and close that file. If you just wanted the user to input data into a form and then submit it and have it saved to a webpage then just use FOPEN and FWRITE to save the information, via variables, into the webpageThis is assuming i understood rightlyEDIT: This information is mainly for education etc.. If this is the first time you have written code that handles selling and buying then i highly suggest going with a pre-made code like those suggested above

like haslip said, get hosted here on Xisto. after you do that, go in to your control panel and in to fantastico. there is a program that you are able to install called noah's classifieds. i am going to be using that soon after i finish my website. it's very basic and user friendly. it will create a database for you so all the visitor has to do is write their ad in the preformated text boxes and post it. the ad will appear as soon as they submit it. very simple and you don't have to worry about creating your own scripts.

PROBLEM right now is that Xisto recently upgraded to the new php version that this noah's classifieds is not compatible with. what you can do to get around this problem is to download the correct version of noah's classifieds directly from their website and upload it to your new website. i believe all you would have to do is to create a database(very simple). the installation after you upload the program is very user friendly and almost automatic. like i said. i believe all you have to do manually is to create a database, possibly change a couple file permissions, and then delete your intallation program for security measures.

there are other classified software out there that is free like certain versions of isell. i would suggest using free software and then if you wanted to create your own classifieds site, you can work on that gradually, but my suggestion and haslip's will let you get started with it quick and easy.
