hehe. i wish i knew that type of stuff. legion gives me too much credit calling me a coder. all i know is html and css and couldn't work with php if my life depended on it.
i'm just a friend and i don't get paid. so i do this as a favor or hobby so i can learn more in the process at least so it doesn't bother me.
the type of dynamic pages you describe is definately what i wish i could do though and what i wish i could help him with. i'd love to learn it but not sure if i'm even capable. my experience with databases is very limited. "woop de doo i setup a forum" lol. the most advanced thing i ever did was copying and pasting something directly into phpmyadmin console which i think created some tables. O_o kinda cool. barely did that yesterday as i installed a little star rating.
aanyways. i'd love to learn this stuff if someone could direct me to guides or books? but on the topic of the site itself which should take presedence over my desire to learn more, maybe legion might hire someone? idk.
anyone wanna teach us for free? lol
if not were stuck and we have no choice to do it the insanely ridiculous hard way.

lol
