How to create a table for users to request stuff.

That's pretty much what I'd want
a box well a form where people can enter in info and I can be the only one that can make changes if need be, like if something gets filled I'd like to be able to either delete the request or have a checkmark box, and check mark it off, or put a strike thru the request


This is what someone responded to my post on wordpress.org
So, i figured I'd come here and maybe someone can help me

Okay, so you are thinking about having some kind of web form? Where someone can type in a query and press a submit button (or similar)? For that kind of application, you are going to have to use some amount of scripting, using PHP or another web language.

Setting up the table once (so that there is the static version for your own use) is easy, generating a dynamic table (based on the user input of your visitor) is much harder. I would advise looking for a plugin that provides similar functionality, or else get with the WP Pro mailing list to find someone who can help you with the code.

Alas, I am not a PHP person.... So I would have very little idea on what exactly to do to provide your desired end result.

All the same, I hope you can find a suitable solution.

Asking what? Were not here to pump out code for people. If you haven't got time to learn php, you need to hire someone who does know it.
