Sincere thanks for your input, Jerry. The person who chastised me for cross
posting actually posted again and apologised so that is sorted now.
Originally I was debating which group would be best but since I am learning
PHP, I thought comp.lang.php would be most appropriate. I wasn't trying to
cross post or multi-post, just hit this group which I failed miserably with
my first shot

I actually now have a working solution written in PHP. It's built upon what
Geoff Muldoon posted on this thread although it does have a minor bug (well
irritation more than bug) which currently has me puzzled.

Cheers

Phil
