Dennis, thanks for your answer
Have you ever used before PHP and done anything of this kind of application
that I want to accomplish? I need to dig out everything myself this summer.
If you know someone that has done somthing alike please let me know. Thanks
again.
Star wars, right?
Can you guess about me?
