I love this inexpensive little script at [login to view URL] (See it in action at [login to view URL] - click the side of book to open).
I think it would be more powerful written in PHP. The text file books and PDF versions of the book will stored by categories, authors, date entered, etc. in a well-laid out MySQL database.
Also, the pages might load faster and still have that neat old look by using background images (however I like being able to go back and forth by clicking anywhere along the sides). The script needs to also provide a Go to Page X and a Word Search on each page.
Minimally, there also needs to allow the option to highlight every other line or every other sentence for easier reading. What we would really like (depending on the additional cost factor and whether it is even possible) is to have a moving highlighter go across the words – speed set by the user and with extra controls such as pause, start over, jump forward/back a paragraph, select size and speed of highlight, etc.) Please PMB for suggestions.
Installation and well-documented installation notes are required. Terms are that I will own the exclusive rights to the script, and payment will be made upon completion.
Hi! I have over 4 years of expirience in PHP, Perl + MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle + WebDesign programming. I've written many perl and for the last 2 years PHP scripts so it would be not a problem to manage your project in your timeframe...
