I need a simple script/app but I don't know php. I've installed and run many php apps on my server, but I can't code to save my life and I need this soon. It's for personal use and is basically a counter to help me monitor progress on various projects. Lets say I'm working on a project, like building a website with lots of articles for many different subjects. To monitor my progress on the site I just want to get a general idea of how many articles have been made for the different categories:

Articles Written:
Science [ 27] |Submit| |+1| |+5|
History [ 4] |Submit| |+1| |+5|
Psychology [ 12] |Submit| |+1| |+5|
Anthropology [ 89] |Submit| |+1| |+5|

So you see with Science for example, imagine that 27 is the text box containing the number. I want to be able to change this number by erasing it and putting in another number, say 58. When I hit the submit button from then on when the page is loaded 58 will show in the text box until i change it again. Also in order to more quickly add to the number in the text box I'd like other submit buttons, like "+1", "+5" etc that I can click that will automatically add to that value, so when I click "+1" 58 turns to 59, etc. I need this, but I also need the ability to add additional categories/subcategories as I need them.

If you can whip something up like this quickly I would so appreciate it. It doesn't have to be pretty, just functional. It doesn't even have to be php as long as it's linux compatible. I'd be willing to pay for your services if needed.

This is either a paid project or a volunteer one. Make your mind up ;) You can't post in both boards. I'll delete whichever thread you don't want.
