Hi developmentxl,
Thanks for the christmas cheer, very kind of you sir !
As I mentioned in my previous post I will give your excellent tutorial a go in the new year, meanwhile I thought I'd better learn the basics.
I came upon a web site hosting that advocates a programme called "Easyphp" and has a set of step by step tutorials that might be just the introduction I need to prepare me for your guide.
I wondered if you knew of it and what your sentiments were about it ? [I'd value your opinion]
Easyphp
It seems simple enough for even me to work through . . . [famous last words . . .]
Thanks again,
Jon
