Most likely, you'll have to write a custom script, or have it written for you. Goto.com's web site didn't originate from a stock script. Good luck.

It gonna take a long long time to finish everything :) But its worth it IF it is successful! Try not to copy anything from goto.com or they might or will sue you for copying their site's concept,etc If you are quite good with perl and too lazy to write it, you may want to try your search at www.scriptsearch.com (http://www.scriptsearch.com) and www.cgi-resources.com (http://www.cgi-resources.com)

Enjoy your night and Happy April Fools day!

well i have looked in both of those places but i have found nothing specific. I need something that will be able to manage statistics, acount logins, and people will be able to check their hits. I am assuming it will be a combination of PHP and SQL but i am not sure how to do it.

You'll probably need to find a CGI programmer to custom program the script for you... you're not going to find it at any of those places (BUT- they do have places at cgi-resources where programmers post their resumes)

surferdude.. how much are you willing to pay for the software you need? I would like to help you out for free, but it's too much work. I could do it in both PHP and Perl, but I prefer Perl cuz it's _much_ more powerful. If you are interested please drop a mail to rain@myself.com and tell me about your plans, and maybe we can try to work something out.

Take care!
