I know this probably doesn't exist, but can anyone point me in the right direction to what i would need to learn to make something like this... I want to have a list of items that people can check and hit submit and it will give them a list of everything in the database that they can make with the items they had checked.

There are some websites that use this for drinks, like this onehttp://www.idrink.com/drinkrecipes.html

The items are on the left there and if you select a couple it gives you a list of things to make. Is there a module that does anything like this? Or does someone know what I would need to learn to make something like this?

As always thanks!

Sounds like a generic recipe system adapted for drinks. Hunt for PHP script on the web

http://www.phpclasses.org/ is a good place to start

The use the MyIframe module to wrap it up for XOOPS or amend it yourself into a proper XOOPS module.

The recette 2.2 module has an ingredients list and how many recipes use each ingredient. When you click an ingredient you get a list of the recipes that include that ingredient. I am using it here:
