I need to make a website with the following layout/functions, usually I find a script with what I need, but I'm not finding anything this time.
Can anyone help me with the scripting part of what I need here, thanks.

You can do this with any server-side scripting software and a small DB. I'd go for ASP.NET (C#) because it is the easiest for me. If you don't expect 100000000000 clicks, you could just use a MDB (MS Access file) for the DB, it is very simple to use.
Also, why 3 pages? They seem to be doing the same thing. Just distinguish which counter should be updated.

they are "signup forms"
I'm setting up a contest website, with 3 different contests, one is daily, the other is weekly, and the 3rd is monthly.
when the user goes for the weekly contest for example, he clicks on option 2 in the main page
he Signs up on page 2, when he does, I receive an email informing me of his details and at the same time, my site saves that count in the main page.
for instance
on the main page you would see
| Monthly Contest - 230 Signups | Weekly Contest - 89 Signups | Daily Contest - 15 Signups |
Any idea on how can I set up something like this?

No, I understand what you intend to do, I am just saying that the same page can be used for all three actions. When you click on options 1,2,3 on the main page, send a hidden variable that tells it how to process the input at the end. During the processing, according to the type, send the email accordingly and update the correct counter.

Yes...but...
I require the 3 option pages because I will have a different CPA gateway on each one of them.
The user can only signup to the contest after he completes a CPA offer.
I've been thinking about this for a while now, only way I can setup this site the way I need to is through the layout that I've shown previously.
But I really don't know how to get it to work.

TL;DR
but
Send all the info to one MAIN page that processes the data and opens up one of the other 3 pages?

So basicaly is this, the CPA gateways are setup in the network page of the CPA network, and I set them up in such a way that when users click on one of the options on the main page the option page loads up with the CPA gateway, and they can't do anything on the option page until they complete one of the surveys that I demand.
I just didn't mentioned the CPA surveys because they aren't relevant for the working of the site, only to explain that I need the 3 "different" option pages.
I need 2 things.
The code on how to create a signup form like the one I mentioned above, and the code for a counter that saves a value on a file in the site everytime someones click the signup button.
Can you post a script that does this?

What I previously said about one input page is still correct. You are doing the CPA load inside the input page, so you can load the appropriate CPA according to the hidden info.
I will see if I can do some ASP.NET code later to show you.

That would be great, anyway, do most host retaillers allow ASP?
Most of them have in big letters that they allow PHP, but make no mention of ASP.
I will use hostgator btw, I believe they support ASP, but I'm not sure.
Let me know when you have something
Thanks

It doesn't matter, you can look at the code and adapt it to PHP. Programming language is just a mean towards the end.
BTW, ASP is not the same as ASP.NET.

If you have Windows and have IIS, you can try what I will send you locally with no problem.

I knew what it was, I just didn't knew it was free.
A free Microsoft server product, that is unexpected

Well, it all depends on how much you spend on design. The rest should be quite easy. I will build a small demo soon, and you can work with that.

Design as in logos, and images, I believe that part is almost done, maybe a little resize here and there to fit the page is all I need.
All the text that I will have in there is also written, the only part that I'm lacking is the technical part.

Do you have office installed? Unfortunately I don't, and I need an empty MDB file for the demo. Can you just open Access, start a new project and save that as Access 2003 MDB (not .ACCDB)?
Upload that and I will use it.

I'm already working with them for almost a year. they have a really great user interface and always pay on time, but imo they shave a little bit to much.
They are one of the best networks out there that are lenient towards blackhat traffic, but since this site I'm building is for white hat purposes, I will also use other CPA networks.
Thanks anyway
Thanks, this was actually quite fast, anyway, I put this on the server and when I try to browse it, it prompts me an error saying.
| Quote: | Server Error in '/' Application.

Any ideas?

What directory did you put it? Files need to have read access and the db needs to have write access.

I went to the inetmgr -> view sites -> add web site - load the dir from your script from the physical path option, and started the server.

That's correct, but you need to give the directory permissions. You can do that from IIS as well.
I don't remember how to do this exactly in IIS7, but try right clicking on the folder and resetting permissions or something similar.

Where exatly do I change them?
I go to the edit permissions link in the actions menu, uncheck the read only option, and when I start the server it auto checks the read only option on again :\
