Script Work

[allan]

I'd like to have a script written for my ExpiredNIC site. One of the features of the members only area is a list of all domains available today. The script is downloaded daily as an ASCII file that just lists the domains:

domain1.com
domain2.com
domain3.com
..
...
...

You get the idea.

Anyway, I would like to have a script written that would do two things:

1. Save the lists of expired domains for 30 days.
2. Allow people to search through those domains (similar to the script at www.deleteddomains.com).

If you are interested, please respond to this thread and let me know, I will e-mail you more detailed information.

Now, the kick is, my wife is already bitter about how much I have spent on the site :), so my budget for the script is limited to about $100 (preferably less :D).

I know your site is in perl, but would php work for you?

Absolutely, a lot of the backend stuff I have done, is in PHP.

If you want, get on AIM and we'll talk.

This would definitly be simple to do whether via text file or a database with PHP. It would actually be better to take the text file that's downloaded daily and store it into a database.

When you use a database such as mySQL you'll get far quicker result sets than parsing a flat file. Besides that, have you ever tried to do releavance searching on a text file? :)

I would be more than happy to do this for you. It sounds like a pretty simple task from what you've described.
