I own a site at [login to view URL] which needs some additional work on it. The site is coded in an older version of PHP and uses crontab to deliver stock quote data to cell phones, pagers, etc.. I need someone very skilled in PHP and also in working with site layout to cleanup the code (or rewrite it from scratch), implement a consistent site layout using perferably a dreamweaver template (or I will listen to your suggestions) and also to implement some new functionality. I had a coder from RAC work on the site previously and he did a nice job, and I have much documentation on the site for the new coder to review. Please read the requirements below and bid appropriately. I am a good person to work for, but I need someone who is fast, speaks good english and communicates well. see deliverables for more information
## Deliverables
1) Coding and Aesthetics: I'd like to get all the code up to speed, maybe it's easier to start from scratch? Here is what you said before: "A lot more to be done in there to clean up the code. Especially useful would be to use include files for the header, menus etc. Simply so that if you want to make mods you would ony do it in on place. Never mind the coding, the is PHP is already poor and would not even run if you set your server to show errors." I'd like to have a header and footer file, as well as a "template" that I could more or less update and it would update all files. I like the look of the index page to be used for the template, but since I didn't use a template, all the other pages have different table sizes, are off-center, etc.. I want a uniform look and feel throoughout the site and a template / header / footer, so I can quickly modify the entire site when I need to make changes to menu, etc.. 2) Functionality - I need a way to test that the site is working. Several days ago I logged in and inputted a stock symbol to have the quotes delivered to my cell phone, but nothing ever happened. Same thing today when I used my own email address...nothing. I need an admin functionality where I can click a button and test the server to make sure the cron jobs are working and to send out a test email with a time stamp on it to make sure that the time on the server hasnt' crept. - The interval functionality on the website appears to be broken. Users should have an ability to choose from getting quotes every 15 minutes, every 30 minutes, every hour, 2x a day, 4x a day, etc.. - notificiations by price movement. It'd be great if I had the option to type in a percentage movement...meaning I want to get notified x number of times per day and also when the stock moves up or down x percent - advertising. I'd like the ability to insert some text advertising into the quote email. Something available via the admin, where I can sell some adspace. Just text -possible support for OTC stocks and maybe futures indexes, guess that's limited to what's available via Yahoo -and some discussion on expansion to other types of data that people can opt for, maybe daily weather forecast for their zipcode, etc.. I need a smart coder for this project.
