Something I coded up this afternoon..

I coded up this template today. I tried to mimic the look and feel of the blockbuster site a little when designing the look. Thought it might be worth showing.

I havent put too much time into fixing the kinks, so if you find any let me know. I also think I have most of the important features, but if there is something major missing, let me know that as well.

All the colors and fonts are in a style sheet. The entire script is 1 php file about 400 lines long. It was developed to be easily dropped into an existing php template (IE: A wrapper php file can be written to easily match it to your existing site). The backend uses a mysql database from a dump created by ANT. I can release the source in a few days if there is any interest.

Sorry, Its not language file compatable at this time.

Its not a template file. It is PHP code, I can release it in a few days once I know its complete and working perfect.

Allright.. I finally had time to start working on my own projects again. This fell away from me after switching servers, but its coming back.

You can see the updated version at the following address:
http://pkwebstudio.com/apps/moviedb/

Items I was tryingto code around:
* EASY TO INSTALL (If you have an ANT database, simply export it to MySQL, add 3 lines of PHP code and it should be working.
* ALL styles are using a CSS style sheet, Easy to modify and transform the look of this page to be whatever you want, WITHOUT the need to touch any PHP or HTML.
* Easy and clean navigation, I don't like options all over the place, but mixed.. easy to use.
* Non-intrusive to other scripts you may have on the same page, $_GET vars in the addressbar will not be lost when clicking links in this script.

Things to do before release:
* Finish the main movie page showing ALL details (when you click a movie title).
* Fix multible directors sharing the same link.
* Add page numbers to the bottom of the page.
* Add "Jump To" section with the letters of the alphabet to click on (95% done).
