Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help me?

I know a bit of Perl and Javascript.

I would like to know how to create a set of dynamic pages in PHP.

Firstly I know very little of PHP and have spent most of my time using Perl. I'm not even sure of how to launch a Perl script within a page.

My goal is to create a set of dynamic pages which contain some reviews on games.

I would like a system where the user could filter the results and for example view only strategy games, alphabetically, or filter by rating instead.

If you could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance.

Slug.

It's not a hard thing to do, but you've said you know very little about php so it might be hard for you... What you want would probably mostly consist of variants of mysql querys... where you'd filter out the results you don't need... if you're familiar with mysql, than that's the way to go in my opinion... if you're not, there's plenty of tutorials on the net..

Webslug,
If you've had some experience with PERL/CGI, PHP will seem like the easiest thing ever!I started out with PERL as well. I thought that PERl was so cool after a year or so of playing with it, but when PHP came along, I was like "DAMN!". PHP in a way, I think is a MUCH simpler/easier version of PERL. Of course that comparison is arguable.
Check [w3schools.com...] for a tutorial. The rest is just trial and error.
