Will do then. Mind you, Neel will have to be there and do his stuff because<br>this is well beyond my current level of knowledge. But, hopefully, not for<br>much longer.<br><br>Did somebody say they were going to give us a mobile number in case we have

<br>><br>> PHP can deal just fine with any database you'd care to use and there's a<br>> heap of existing work to build on. Zend, as mentioned by Neel, is<br>certainly<br>> worth looking at.<br>><br>
