Time to get my hands dirty I think


Many thanks,

No problem..

I just meant you don't have to template the code if you don't want to. You can have it output HTML straight from the PHP without going through the template system. If you do this first, it makes the coding a bit easier.. then once you've got it working how you want it, move the HTML parts into a template.

I don't think there is any harm in examining someone else's code to learn how to do things. Good luck!
