    Default Request form... need to know if this can be done and how

    Hi guys i own a music radio station and we would like to offer our listeners the following.

    I have created a search form where they can search for songs the songs all have there own html page. and are done alphabeticlly. so all songs starting with A are on a.html but this is what i want to do.

    when they click on a song it takes them to a page where they can request that song it automatticlly knows what song they have request and all they have to type in is there email and shoutout. i can do php and i uses php at the moment.

    But i don't know how this would work with what i want to do. do i have to create one contact page for each song??

    Please help. Oh and would it be better to do it in flash if so any one know where i could get a sorce for this.

    Willing to do it in asp as well. i have a linux and window servers. I resell them to if any one needs space just message.

    Thanks

    sounds to me like you need some help working your php with a database... I am not extremely familiar with this area but I am sure that you create a new entity with some name and just have whatever song the user clicks on passed into this variable then give your form for email and shoutout etc...

    again php is not my expertise but I believe that is a very pseudo theory of how to accomplish what you are trying to do. Good Luck... where ya based out of?

    Click a link, and a song plays?
    Or Juke-box style, with a request list and waiting line?*

    *this will get old fast as people will abuse it. you might want to track IPs to be sure they can only do one, until their song has played, though that is complex to setup for just a small issue... depends on your audience. Are they friendly or is someone going to mess around?

    Seems you have a playlist already, of some sort, so just add it to the playlist when the click, and the playlist can be in a database, perhaps.

    Kinda general question, really.
