Looking for assistance with PHP class

I'm looking for someone who is an advanced PHP coder that might be willing to help me complete a project that at this point, I cannot finish because I am just not experienced enough.

This is basically the project.

I'm building a PHP class that will mimic as closely as possible the ASP.NET datagrid. Basically usage will be declaring the datagrid object and passing the desired parameters to the constructor and creating the column info etc etc.

So far this is what is working as is:

Can create datagrid (obviously)
Can allow or disallow table header
Can set up alternating row styles
Can allow custom defined columns
Can allow custom columns to be editable
Can allow paging (either with prev/next or numerical)
Can allow sorting on custom columns
Can create a button column using either a push button or link button
User can define their own custom function to handle datagrid events

Current Roadblock:

Template Columns where you can define how you want a column to look
ie: more than one field display, custom formating, etc etc

If anyone would be interested in helping out, or even willing to give ideas on how to handle a template column it would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, I'm new to this forum, so I'm hoping it's a great place to find tons of info. Thanks again in advance for any help.

Don't expect people to do your work for you for nothing. You'd be better off posting this job under the "paid" section, beacuse I doubt you'll find anyone to code this for you just beacuse you're too "lazy" to study so you consider yourself "not experienced enough".

First off, I'm not lazy. Second off, apparently you didn't notice the request for assistance, not the request to do. And if someone was willing to just offer up some suggestions, I would be very happy.

Maybe you should ask questions about a person before you assume they are just "lazy". And as far as experience goes. I've been working with php for a grand total of less than 4 weeks. That's not only coding, but also configuring Apache and the PHP installation to work. So no, I'm not exactly what I would call experienced.

But thanks for you comments Jade, but I'd prefer if you are going to call someone lazy, you really find out if they are lazy first.

Then you should consider posting under the regular php section. I know when I read your message I took it the wrong way beacuse its under the volunteer section.

But it should be in the volunteer section.
He's asking for a "volunteer" to help him..

Theres a line between a few lines of code, or a pesky error, and helping to writes large amounts of code. The first would be for PHP - Code, the second for Volunteer Work. So unless it really is a small issue, then it belongs right where it is.

is there a solid reason to argue over it?

Jade admitted he/she was wrong, we've established the thread was posted in the correct forum, back on topic now?
