When I decided to pick up some web programming skills I bought a $50 book/manual on learning PHP and another on MySQL. I read them - cover to cover. Then I made up simple tasks to develop in order to LEARN how it's actually done. Sounds like you not only want someone to program it for you, but probably help you implement it too. Sure - I or someone with time on their hands - could reply back with a couple hundred lines of code and give you your answer. Then what would you have gained? Hey - I gave you the outline of how this goal of yours could be accomplished. No need for your own pseudo-code at this point. Take mine and go do some research! Have fun! Then come back for clarification on what you're doing wrong once you have some actual code written. >> > And were people this nice to you when YOU asked beginner questions? >> When I asked beginner questions, it was AFTER I had written something and ran into a roadblock. NOT before I had set pen to paper. You're asking how to get to California without having consulted a map yet. This site will be there for you when you have a problem - don't worry. Me included, not that my input is that worthy. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
