He literally wants the "addresses" visible on the sight? Or just an <a>
using the person's name that would then generate the email by referencing
the data table? This is basic contact form methodology as mentioned by an
earlier post.
As for the missing ones, use that WP thingie to extract them and post them
to a speicifc email addr field in your table.

Yes, they want the addresses visible and clickable on the website. They
have contact forms, but they also want the email addresses (of their
scientists and other consultants) available to their clients. And they
want the addresses to be shielded against harvesting for spam.
As I said, I don't like doing it this way, but the client gets what they
want after the options have been explained to them.

I have the phone already configured, but it requires a SIM card that ALLOWS

the data came from ...

That's why I said, hack an android phone. You can simulate it is send
by the phone itself with enough programming skills.

Hello list,
I am quite sure that you've heard this question at least a few times
before. :) But I have been dabbling a bit in PHP for years and I've
decided that its' high time that became serious about getting a solid
grounding in it. Currently I work as a Sysadmin and have modest but
reliable skills in bash and perl. But I consider PHP more of an
artform and I really need to 'pick up a brush and start painting' so
to speak.
So what I was wondering what websites, and books you'd recommend to
someone who (for all intents and purpose) is just starting out.
On my hit list of things to learn are basic php / database
interaction (mysql mainly).. then how to accelerate php interraction
through memcache.. and eventually one I have all that down onto using
some of the NoSQLs (mongo/cassandra/membase, etc).
Thanks!

The manual is a great place
Www.php.net
Then there are tons of sites forum and otherwise to aid your learning.

I'll second the manual -- quite a lot of info, and generally very well written.
When I started out learning PHP, I used the tutorials at
webmonkey.com. They're pretty well done, and definitely got me going
quickly. If you already have programming experience, and understand
data bases a bit, they should help you along.
2 cents
If you have no programming or data base experience, PHP isn't
necessarily a bad first language, but it is very rich, and there are
many ways to make mistakes and create poorly formed programs. Writing
web apps is quite a bit different than writing admin scripts in shell
and perl, and there are various ways to go about it. While the php.net
manual is extensive in describing the workings and functions of PHP,
it is not a programming tutorial by any stretch.
Way back in the Jurassic of programming, I had a nifty little book
called "Programming Proverbs" that laid out quite succinctly some
rules of thumb for writing good code. Today, books like "Code
Complete" serve that purpose well, but with a lot more text and no
where near as much fun. Still, if you're are a beginner to writing
applications, it's good to look at such books.
I've been having a lot of fun with Beginning PHP 5.3 by Matt Doyle.
Covers basics nicely, and I've found myself going back to the book for
reference constantly as I do my own php medium size project as a
learning experience =)
Also, the code samples and explanations are top notch, and you come to
really understand what it is you're doing..
so that's my 2 cents!

Nice! I'll give that a try! Thanks for the suggestion!

Herein, my friends, lies the problem. Silly me, using a DECIMAL number
(777) instead of an OCTAL number (0777).
