[PHP] Help - GUI using PHP

2004-07-20 Thread T UmaShankari
Hi all,
   A GUI having a drwable area and a button in a frame is required. The
points colected by drawing in the drawable area needs to be stored in a
datastructure in php. can we do this using php? If so for
displaying graphics what should be done?
  This GUI has to be embedded in a browser and displayed in any clients
machine. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Uma

PHP works serverside which means that is can do all sorts of things to a 
page BEFORE it is send to the browser, but not while the page is being 
viewed by the user.

For this drawable area you would need to find something which is able to 
interact, options are javascript with DHTML (taking care to be cross 
browser compatible), java (requires user to install java) and there are 
likely to be more candidates. If you take for instance javascript and DHTML 
for the drawable area, this script can then score the points collected in a 
hidden form which then can be submitted to PHP. PHP can store it in many 
databases or in data files.
