    Hi All,

    I have been asked to come up with something along the lines as the budget planner on this page. This is written in flash but I only have php to work with.

    It doesnt need have its full functionality or look and feel but it has to be as close as possible.

    I was thinking of ways I could achieve this and I am completely stumped.
    My first idea was to use a combination of a html table to php array extractor and use those javascript row editing scripts.

    Am I gone completely mad or is there a better way to achieve this?

    This is more a javascript issue. If you build the whole page with javascript, you can then use AJAX/Javascript to send an asynchronous request to a PHP page for processing.

    Ok, I presume that the best route would be to create a table, and using MooTools/jQuery allow inline editing of cells. When a user enters the page create session vars holding arrays for each section. When a change is made then update these session arrays?

    Seeing as there is no need to store the data session variables should be ok?

    Cheers!

    Well they will be stored in javascript variables but then you need to send these via POST/GET to a PHP using AJAX. I think it would be best way. JQuery should allow you do this.

    Thanks Webmonkey,

    I'll give this a go.


    If anyone else has a better solution please let me know.
    Thanks!
