I hired a programmer to make a basic program in for me that is written in PHP.
I am hosting it on my own web host.
It is basically a web crawler that returns data on certain websites that are entered into the database.
This software was created without any "user account" functionality- it is just a single instance that is not even properly protected by a login/password button.
I want to finish developing this cloud-hosted software and then be able to sell it to people on a monthly subscription. Obviously I will need a way to create an account for every person that signs up- so they can each access their own account of the software with their own database of whatever websites they want to enter into the software(in other words just how every cloud software works).
My question is definitely a newb one, but basically I want to know, what technology is used to do this? What kind of program/service/code is used to add simple "user account functionality to a basic cloud software?
P.S. I would ask the guy who made it but he took my money and ran after making a a piece of junk.
The way that this is done is to modify the PHP to add a login feature. There is unlikely to be an out of the box solution that will work. Rather than having to create a new database every time someone signs up, you would modify the existing database to add a user column to each table, and then update the code to only display the data for the currently logged in user.
Unless you want to spend a few months learning PHP and whatever database you are using, you're going to want to hire another programmer to do this for you. Someone good would charge $200-300 for this. Or you can try taking the lowest bidder for $50 or so, and hope they don't run off too.

First I wanted to clarify that this is neither a recommendation question nor a problem. I am making a PWA and in general I am new to coding/html/php based stuff. So my concern is if there is a way to make this thing work out. I have already managed to make a login system that someone has to create an account in order to login etc etc. I'm currently thinking that since I have already managed that, if there is a way for someone else (other than the customers that already have accounts), to join the app, by scanning a QR Code that when scanned will ask for a small fee payment in order to join the PWA based website, or even download the app.
The only thing I know and have tried is the QR code creation but I don't think that helps in my request.
Expected results: A QR-code that when scanned, asks for a fee payment, either paypal or whatever in order to gain access to the PWA through a limited time account (say like 3 days).
Is there a way this could be done with php tokens ?
A QR code is just a means of encoding some text so it can be scanned easily.
It has no mechanisms for taking payment or embedding any kind of software.
For that, you'll need to look to traditional approaches such as having the QR code contain a URL pointing to a "Login or buy an account" page.
currently I'm working on my own, selfwritten Website (from scratch, without any CMS or sh**) and I want to implement a special system for the Commissions I make.
Some people are commissioning me to create 3D Models and other stuff.
Since sometimes my customers are from a different timezone (I'm from germany, most of my customers are from america) communicating over Discord sometimes fails because of that.
So I thought about creating a system to let the customers download their commissioned model as soon as I've uploaded it and sent them a Code to "unlock" the download to it.
I thought this probably could work using Paypal. They get the Code, enters them on my website and gets the information to pay a specific amount I've setup before. After they paid, the download is unlocked.
Any Idea how I could setup something like that?
Thank you in advance!
I am making a website from scratch that will let users create accounts. I plan on having 4 type of accounts(Customer,Employee/Owner,Rep/Salesman,and Dealer). Out of those 4 type of accounts, the owner and the rep are the only ones who will see a calendar once they log-in. The owner should be able to modify events from the rep's calendar, and the rep can obviously modify his/her own calendar as well. I am not planning on making a calendar from scratch, but rather to get one that meet my needs from my website. I honestly don't know where to start looking, or what are some good scripts to get what I want done, so any help and thoughts are appreciate it.
Thanks!
This seems like quite a large task.
But have a look at this website with this calendar script in PHP, it might be a good place to start. If you want to hand code it.
Hello my fellow internet companions, I shall need your help once again.
I'm trying to develop a Drupal Website with an user base which pay a different fee upon the kind of subscription.
After a defined span of time, the subscription should expire, unless the user pay again for mantain the access to the services; which module do you suggest me to use for manage these tasks? We're trying to avoid the use of content types because we'd like to use the Drupal Users core system, but it appears almost impossible.
Any help would be appreciated, cheers!
are you talking about the ability for users to have different subscriptions to certain services?
First thought: I think a combination of rules and cron will help you out with this?
Still thinking further though.....
I am in the process of developing a PHP application that awards users for supporting indie games. Once my website confirms an indie purchase, it will unlock certain VIP areas of my site.
For example, I would have a link on my website to Minecraft's registration page. Once my referred user signs up and pays for his copy of Minecraft, is there any way for my site to instantly be updated that the user successfully bought a copy?
This isn't specific to Minecraft either. I would need to include many links to other indie developers' purchase pages.
I'm at a loss to where to begin on this, nor even sure if it's technically possible.
One way of doing this is via an API whereby the purchase is made on your site and you communicate with Minecraft on the backend.
Alternatively, affiliate networks like Commission Junction do the hard work of checking where the user came from and whether or not they buy the product.
However, it doesn't look like Minecraft offer either solution, so your only other option is contacting them directly and asking them if they want some kind of marketing partnership with you.
Yes, just ask the user. "Did you buy Minecraft? [yes] [no]"
Isn't it obvious that you need to get a response from the minecraft site to acknowledge a purchase?
