lol, Ashley! Ayemowa, http://www.google.com/search?q=becoming+a+programmer&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a You need to take your 2 steps below and break them down into smaller steps...and smaller steps...and still smaller steps. What PHP files will your application require? Will there be forms? What will the user interface look like? Don't start with a 'PHP script'. Start by defining in excruciating detail what your application is going to do, how it will do it and then describe every little part (variables, functions, models, views, controllers...whatever) that will make it work. Once you have that description, you can start to think about the code by writing it's documentation. Then, once you have the documentation, you can write code based on the documentation...revising the docs as necessary. It's a lengthy, complicated process that is going to demand a little more of you than just reducing your app to 2 steps and asking a mailing list how to do it. Good luck, let us know how it goes and how we can help you take (much smaller) steps. John Corry -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
