Actually, there was only one question, and "going by" seems to imply
assumption(s) in any event.

Hmmmm, I dunno about that "very broad"... As near as I can tell, there
was only one question - a lot of background and foreground, but only one
question. No doubt it was too verbose, so you mistook the wishlist for
questions. Let me rephrase it for you:
Do you know of a way with PHP to create form entry fields in, say, a
pair of arrays named, say item[] and qty[], and pass those to a
processing script (possibly as session variables)?
Frankly, I've RTFM a goodly amount, and googled MAO - maybe I'm looking
in the wrong haystack, or maybe it just can't (or at least shouldn't) be
done in PHP. I'm thinking that the latter may be the case, and what I
really want is javascript for the UI and PHP for the processing -
actually, the end-time processing is pretty damn easy, once the users'
items have been entered. Oh, wait... I'm getting verbose again. Ignore
this and only attend to the stuff with questions.

Say what? The question is related, in essence, to user interface. It was
stated fairly clearly that the existing database was being translated
from xBASE to MySQL for purposes of browser-based interfacing to the users.

What's a "10 loc"?

Will they? I'm thinking you must know some pretty different college
students than the ones I've known. Where are the ones you're proposing?
