Thanks for your help!
but really i am only posting to find out if there is a quick and easy
solution, PHP sounds pretty involved and i couldn't ask you to take me
through all of the steps needed - i would feel more confident learning
the basics myself and then i would have some idea of what i am doing -
besides this, it will probably be a week or two before get to the
server
do you know any good sources of information? (i have some programming
experience)
