Leonard,
this is a mailing for helpinmg people understand PHP and
solve PHP problems.
the fact that you need a complete webbased interface to a container loading
algorythm does not really constitute a 'php problem'.
what you are asking for is, softly put, quite complex & rather specialized.
people have spent years developing software to this end ... the price you pay
for it is reflected in that. chances are it does not exist in the open source
arena. you might consider looking beyond php though, given that conceptually
the mathematics involved are probably above you (unless you major in mathematics
or something similar :-) there is little need to have such a tool written in
a language you [fully] understand. (I found at least one tool which had an ASP
api available for linking in a webbased interface).
