Project involves using PHP / CURL / libcurl to automate form posting and retrieval of results. It is important to use CURL as it is proven to work with my system and existing codebase. Websites for analysis include major retailing merchants (anywhere between 20 are still waiting to be analyzed). The programmer will be provided with a base PHP class and each merchant will be created as a child class. Each class can take anywhere between 5 minutes and an hour depending on the programmer's skill level. Each final class will only contain 15 lines of code, of which 10 are trivial. The only non-trivial part of this project is figuring out how the form posts data and how it is retrieved; i.e. cookies, HTTPS, javascript, refreshes. Compensation begins at $5 per website analyzed and a bonus will be paid contingent on performance. This can easily be a $50/hour project if done with skill.
## Deliverables
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment.
b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.
3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement).
## Platform
This will be integrated with a larger-scale PHP project - easily multi-platform.
