I am not asking for someone to write code for me. I am sorry if it came across that way. I have spent days getting this far and only reached out for help when I finally hit a wall I couldn't get through.

I wouldn't know secure code from insecure code if my life depended on it. I've been using this database/client for ten years and the admin/coder just retired out of nowhere. I don't generally go looking for help but I saw no other option.

I am trying to do this by myself because I don't have much to pay, but would gladly pay for services if I even knew what exactly to look for. With people already saying my script/site could get hacked, I don't feel so confident about handing it all over to a stranger.

I help others in a totally different forum for writing, and I see plenty of people wanting everything done for them. I am happy to help, and I get your point about soliciting free work. I wasn't trying to do that.
