You want to write your own Ebay ? Without being an IT Master ?
Forget it.
If you arent a master of php, perl or similair, dont know SQL databases, security, and hosting inside out, you are in way over your head.
I'm not saying you cant do it, but you have many years of learning ahead of you before I'd consider auctioning anything more than marbles on a 1st site written by someone who isnt at least at "advanced god" level in a broad range of IT subjects.
You would be far better off buying a pre-made package from someone who is. 5 seconds of googling turned this up
http://www.addauctionsoftware.com/
I'm sure there will be lots of others.
For that matter, writing the code is only half the battle anyway. Theres no point having an auction site without any customers. Why cant you use Ebay or one of the other existing auction sites that have millions of people browsing them every day ?
Oh, and "Please Help Me ?????" is generally considered to be very bad form as a subject in forums - especially when combined with multiple punctuation marks !!!!!!!
I've changed your title to something more informative and moved it out of the robot tech chat area to where it belongs..
try to be a bit more clueful in future please. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people

[simulataneous post with Karmond Two opinions for the price of one ]
This forum uses the same technique. Unlike a "normal web page" where the HTML is written as a file, and uploaded to a server, The HTML page you are presently looking at did not even exist until you specifically asked for it.
Then a piece of php code went through the SQL database of posts, looked at your preferences, themes, timezones, what messages you have and havent seen and a thousand other factors, then custom wrote the html page on the fly just for you, sent it to you, then threw it in the bit bucket (bin) for recycling.
All you browser sees is the end HTML code, which makes it look like there is an actual HTML file sitting on a server somewhere, but there isnt. Its all done with smoke and mirrors..
If you're really interested, download the phpBB Forum code from https://sourceforge.net/projects/phpbb/ and have a look through the various modules and how they relate.
If you're really interested in learning programming by poking about at random rather than doing a structured course (what I call "Blunder mode" as you blunder about randomly), a useful metaphor is to think of all the heiroglyphics you are reading as a jigsaw made of code - to begin with, you have no idea what you are looking at, or how the bits fit together.
But perservere, ignore the bits you dont understand and focus on the bits you do - hey look, this bit goes with that bit... now I have two brown blobs connected into 1 big one ! I have no idea what a SELECT command does, but I recognise the "if..then..else" structure after it.
Eventually the blobs begin to connect together into bigger bits, the big bits come together into structures and slowly the big picture will emerge as you begin to comprehend large blocks of code, their functions and how the connect and communicate to each other.
Its not a very efficient way to learn programming, but it does help you learn the attitude necessary to rush in fearlessly, screw things up, and then fix them which can be useful in many situations. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas.
