Hi, I'm VERY new to PHP and can just barely get by so doing what I'm trying to do may be out of my league...here it is-I'm working on something for http://www.vsssleep.com and I'm thinking PHP may be the way to go. I'm trying to create a "build a bed" thing on the site. There are a lot f variables that go into it such as do you sit up & read in bed, do you sleep hot or cold, etc. so it needs to be database driven. I built a non-dynamic version in flash a while back, but it got very large very quickly and changing data was pretty difficult because I had to track down the spot where it was. Can someone offer some advice?

it should be fairly doable in php.. you could mix flash and php, if needed as well.

I don't want to use flash at all, I just used it to build the last one because it was more organsied than having 100s of html pages. Can you point me to a site using something like this that I can modify to do what I'm trying to do?

there probably isn't much to where you could just change around a few things.. you'll probably need to find examples and tutorials on the different parts and put them together yourself.

Do you know javascript? if so you will be able to use php along with javascript to accomplish this task.
