wildcard promotion code

Recommended Posts

I like this idea, I took it as offering unique promotion codes using the wildcards.

 

Ex: X640TD[*][*][*][*] 25% off order

Any number or letter combination could be entered for those four wildcards, but no more or no less than four can be entered unless it is setup to do so. The rest of the promotion code would need to be exact, the *'s can just have anything placed in them and work properly.

Why didnt you spend a few hours and simply a webpage in PHP to create them in the coupons table in WHMCS ?

 

Hi.

 

I have no one employed to program it, and though I'm very adept at installing scripts, my own PHP skills are close to zero.

 

But I now own and plan to read:

Porfessional PHP Web Services

PHP and MySQL for Dummies

Teach Yourself PHP in 24 hours

Is the only one I've got on PHP, it got borrowed and has never been seen since :(

 

So perhaps I'll start with this one... before mine disappears. ;)

 

From my past programming experience (long ago), I imagine that what you'll learn in 24 hours would be a bit more than PHP programming terms and some PHP basics. From your recall, how much of this book would I have to read in order to be messing around with the whmcs?

 

Thanks

NOH

I second the comment above on getting a quote from Matt and team, they'll often be able to do it faster and better, especially if you've not written any PHP before.

 

The best book I've ever across for PHP is the Sitepoint book with a title like 'PHP and MySQL' by Kevin Yank. Written by a world class programmer, it's readable and understandable and leaves you with a solid basic grasp of PHP in a book that is about half the size of the others. It's goal is to teach you how to program, rather than teaching you lots of "facts" "about" PHP which in the end become overwhelming. It was the first book I read (and I read 3 before that one) that left me feeling I had a sense of how things worked together. Available from http://www.sitepoint.com (which coincidentally has their office just down the street here in Melbourne, which is nice because I've come to like their books!).

 

Caveat: I'm a veteran hacker, with about 10 other languages, some of which I taught, so I may not be completely normal ;P

I've been coding and designing for years, so it might vary, but i did "hours" about 6 through 10 one morning -that and looking at a couple of examples has been enough for what I need. More time is spent working out the relationships between the data, than actually knocking out any code itself.
