Javascript is really you're only option if you want to ensure full platform capability and the ability to retain the feature in subsequent site evolutions.
- you made up that word, Javascript didn't you?dropdown
- er... thanks for that, but what does "full platform capability" mean?hans_glib
- No.. NO.Orbit
- Well you want it to work across all platforms don't you?Orbit
- (Don't tell me you are still developing on the old monoplatform model)Orbit
- Where are we? 1997?Orbit

php and mysql. Could take a real developer a full day or two or three to do something it its very basic form. I'm sure people already have something like this out there you could use. I'm not a developer and I wrote my own version of something like this.

Just increase your RAM and everything will be fine.

a week or so, maybe more or less.... since this is a startup and you haven't done this sort of thing yourself before, add a few days for the new-to-you-both factor, and possible miscommunications... assume nothing, try to spell it all out, and make sure they're really serious. always get some $$ from a startup up front, developers hear "startup" and begin to wonder about rubberized checks...... There may be an open-source project that already does something like this, but assume that it may be harder to customize than starting from scratch with a good framework... Note also that uploading files larger than a few megs can cause surprises with web hosts,etc....
- hmmm... good advice. I guess the best thing is to give em a scary number and stick to what i know...hans_glib
- I second all of this advice, based on my exact experience of all of it.mikotondria3

I have a contact form that that when filled out and a specific number is entered an email is sent to me that reveals the customer email address pertaining to that specific number entered.
So what I want to do is automate the process: Instead of the email going to me, I would like the contents of that email form to go to the customers email that matches the specific number in the customers account profile.
Anyone up for this? email me at my Fred email and I can try to answer anymore questions.

Funny - I am actually finishing up a system that has all of the functionality and a bit more. It is being used for a corporation as an asset library. They upload files and then set users and retailers and assign which files they can each see. If your client has a little $$ I can modify this for their specific needs.

a lot of cms have something like this, an auth module and granular page permissions, don't necessarily need something custom. silverstripe and drupal come to mind.

ExpressionEngine will be able to handle this easily...

what you described is a File Manger
there are out of the box packages done in PHP and mysql that can be modified to look how ever you want

Technologically spekaing, is the former (mySQL and php)
In terms of cost... no idea since i'm not a back end dev (and you need one to do that)
