Hi Group,

I normally use excel and have no knowledge as yet of php. I have an
excel spreadsheet which is used for monitoring staff levels and
availability. Dates (per month) along top, Workers at site in rows
down left, their availability at intersections of rows and columns.
The sheet works well until you try to share over a corporate network,
and I think it would be better off in a database, ie mysql. I know a
little about access and have been able to get a similar look using
Pivot tables in Access but would like to get the database web based
using a mix of php mysql if I can.

Can php make mysql look like a spreadsheet table as described above?
The benefit Excel brings to the workers is the ability to see who is
working for the whole month at a given location and how it affects
staffing levels, I really would like to try and keep a consistent look
if I can.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Don
