Hi...
I'm a vbscript/MS/ASP guy..who just got a client who uses an apache server and a php/mySQL solution for their database members site.

What I need is to figure out how to use PHP to query a mySQL database...pretty simple stuff really. It's an association of lawyers (yeah, I know...where do we plant the bombs? ;-) and they want a new query written to get a subset of their 800 members...

This is REALLY basic...would take me about 1 hour to write same in vbScript/ASP...

So..can someone offer here, what kind of a time frame would it take to do this in php/mySQL? Like "...between 2 and 3 hours..." or whatever? Thanks...I'm going to have to contract this little job out, and would very much like to know what that might cost in time...so I'd know what kind of $$$ would be reasonable too!

well, you haven't provided enough information to give a real quote, but if it is as simple as query a db and write the results to a web page, then I can do it in about an hour. email me if you want me to do it. don't forget to mention your deadline.

are they using any classes to define the db queries and if so, which class system are they using?

do they use a templated class system for outputting the query results in the sites theme?

how many variations on the query restrictions are you looking at?

does the output html need to validate and if so against which doctype?
