would php help me with this dilemma?

richard

See code below.

After months of hard work and trying several variations, I have concluded
that standard html just isn't going to cut it.

I am putting together a massive list of information and have considered
doing it in php. I think that by just showing "item1" in a long list, then
when the user clicks it on it, a table appears showing more detailed info,
this would be a better approach.
Othewise, you'd need to scroll through a page of repetitive tables and wind
up getting dizzy.

Could PHP do something of this nature? I have not yet done any work with it
but would like to. The calendar portion would not show all 12 months.
Perhaps as many as 6 at the most.

I do not yet have any of this posted anywhere so you could see what I want.

Anyone have a website with something similar?





<table><tr><td>item1</td><td>item2</td><td>item3</td></tr></table>
<table>
<tr>January</td>
<tr><td>1</td><td>8</td><td>15</td><td>22</td><td>29</td></tr>
<tr><td>99</td><td>99</td><td>99</td><td>99</td><td>99</td></tr>
</table>

Yes, PHP *could* be part of a solution. But you need to learn how to
program first. Although PHP is an excellent language to learn
programming in, there are not a lot of resources teaching you how to
do it.

Try your local community college.

What in the hell are you babbling about? PHP has like THE BEST
resource of pretty much ANY language...

....****in DUH!

Granted it's not going to hold your hand for you and wipe your ass
like they do in a college setting...but you'll be better for it, trust
me. Spoon fed educated types have no business working in the tech
industry.
