I'd like to know if gropee supports PHP and MySQL? I would like our members to store their resume and photo so they can submit them for jobs that I post. I want to create what MOnster.com has done, with one button to apply for a job and send their resume. I want the job poster's email to remain anonymous. Any feedback?

Thanks,

Kara

Groupee has both PHP and MySQL support. I'm on da002 and the PHP version there is 4.3.11.

Just to clarify: while we offer PHP and MySQL on the machine, we don't offer formal support for either product, aside from making it usable. In other words, it's up to you to find or write an application to use - we couldn't help you write one.

Does that mean I can store the resumes and photos on my groupee server? I would hire a developer to create the rest for me. Does this sound do-able?

Thanks

The National By-Products site in my signature is PHP/MySQL, and I do file uploads via admin tools written also (You can see an example of my user side of the uploaded files at http://nationalby-products.com/?page=ec_papers ). I don't see why you wouldn't be able to have someone write scripts for you to do what you are asking.

Here is an example of what I want to do:

---------------------------------
Casting Notice for Actor:
We are in search of a male: 20-30, very attractive for lead in feature film.

Email headshot ASAP to:
0988-emailhidden-9813
----------------------------------

I don't want anyone else stealing this casting notice for their casting site. Without the email address, they can't use the casting notice. Craigsist.org does this well.

An important thing to realize, is that unless you are using a separate database (which is unlikely), you'll be sharing the table space with Groupee Community. This means that the tables should be named something not only unique, but unlikely to clash later. For instance, never name a table starting with an "IP_" as that is what Groupee uses for it's software; there is a chance that even if the table doesn't exist now, a feature may require it's creation later and force a contention.

Nothing new or surprising, just a good thing to keep in mind anytime there is a chance that a database driven app will be sharing a common database with other apps.
