America’s Next Great Restaurant

Working with PilotWare, I just completed a PHP web application that connects to a FileMaker database, using the FileMaker PHP API. Password-protected, it allows potential contestants for a reality TV show to pre-register on the show’s public web site (americasnextgreatrestaurant.com) and later, on location at casting calls, to find their pre-registration and complete the sign-up process. The system includes a flash video capture app (jpegcam) that allows the potential contestants to take a picture of themselves. The production company can also add and manage all contestants with their own password.
The system was created to be portable, and we hope to roll out a similar site soon.
