Being new to all this I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum.

I'm looking to get a script for a basic job/classifieds set up which allows one to enter

[detail in which]
the output looks
[like formatted html]

I'd also like the script to incorporate paypal for the posting part, and if possible incorporate email alert subscription

I've seen lots of different scripts, but they're all greek to me.

Any advice greatly appreciated. If such a script doesn't exist, I'd really like to know the sort of language I should be using in case I have to ask someone to create the script for me.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, mccanda.

What you are referring to is what is commonly called a Rich Text Editor (RTE) incorporated into an HTML form to allow users to format their own text. The data is then stored as HTML formatted text. Upon retrieval and display the user's browser will render the HTML.

You can use any server-side language you want for processing the form and since you are in the PHP forum we, of course, would recommend PHP ;)
