I don't know if you do this around here, but I have a situation. I have no experience in PHP but need the following.

A script that would read upcoming events from a file (off a format that is easy) and then send the events that will occur in the next 7 days to a text file. (http://www.hurlstone.com.au/scrolltext.txt) Go to www.hurlstone.com.au, I would like the events listed in the scrollbar up the top. If you can't help, maybe you could refer to someone who can, it is for the school website and I haven't a clue how to do it.

I dont think you are going to find people that are willing to do entire projects for free..although, if you go here http://www.php.net and read the manual and learn how to do it yourself, we are more than willing to help you with any problems you have on your way..

I understand. How much effort would something like this take. I don't see the point in learning PHP if I am only ever going to use it once.

That is oak, I mean java, driving your scrollbar. Java has its own file i/o classes, why not use them?

D1NGO,

I noticed you been on a RTFM rampage lately, everything ok?

HEHE, yeah, what do you mean about the IO for Java, how do I use it. It is a free program I got off the net.

Java is beyond the scope of this msg board (you are familiar with scope, right?). Probably one of two things is going on here:
A) Your a math teacher at this school. In which case you should know better.
B) Your a over-achieving student at this school. In which case, you should learn how to this yourself.

Sorry for the tuff-love but hey gotta draw the line somewhere.

haha, theres just been a few questions which i think were best solved if they RTFM...
so next time you have a problem, RTFM

No... It's a function that amongst other things allows you to read from files...
