New – with hopefully not dumb question!

? I’m having difficulty finding an answer to what I think is a reasonable question:

I want to design a revamped site for [url]www.mvbwn.org[/url] – I’d like all the formatting I do for the membership page to be done using php — is that possible? I found a cool html template that has a main box for text and then three small boxes under it in a row that I’d like to put the phone/email/website in separately; without keying each in – I also have recently taken over the groups’ database and want to be able to import member updates instead of keying everything twice (or more).

[B]So, can the php be formatted and data imported so that the page elements (like little text boxes) repeat and the text is formatted automatically?[/B]

I know this sounds like it should be a simple question – cannot find answer anywhere so have not started the php tutorials I purchased until I know if the dream can become a reality! 😮

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

@NogDogMar 07.2006 — PHP is used to generate content in the form of text marked up with HTML. You can therefore format it exactly the same as "normal" HTML, preferably via the use of CSS style sheets.

@dotcalmauthorMar 07.2006 — Thanks! I'm a print designer originally so use Dreamweaver as I'm not a "coder" - but will teach myself php as I think it will benefit my clients who need to post membership info or other database info on their sites.

I will definitely use this site to post questions in the future - I'm praying to get it right the first time but....... it's good to know there are experts out there to help!

I bought the www.learnwebdevelopment.com php tutorials - been using the Flash ones they offer and they are very good so hope they'll hold my hand through php!

Thanks again,
