Thank you all for the advice, the tea example was just that an example. Ngreenwood6 I appreciate your comments that does help quite a bit and will help to put me on the right track. As far as effort... well I have read a few books, taken some video courses but all of them just go over the functions etc. of PHP they do not have you apply that to any type of example. I do get stuck when I wish to write code from a plan I have wrote up. In any case when I get something going I'll post it up for suggestions and improvement. Also, I can raw code HTML without a problem, taught myself quite awhile ago so I'm not ... hum how do I say this, expecting anyone to write my code. As to what I'm doing, I want to improve on a script I have adding some new items to it. I do not wish to go into detail at this time of what this code is but again thank you for your responses.

This is where I am getting stuck and I appreciate help with it, I understand what each basic PHP function does, and I can generally tell you what a script is doing but when I take an idea I have a hard time turning it into script. Let's take a classic example, how to make a cup of tea. Get a water kettle Fill the kettle with water Turn on the stove to hi Put kettle on the stove Heat to boiling Get a teacup Put a teabag in the teacup Pour boiling water over the teabag Let steep for 5 minutes. Remove and throw away teabag. Add suger or creamer to taste in tea. Done So now how do I figure out what functions/events I need to make this work? If anyone is willing to spend a little time with me via email so I can get over this frustrating hump I would really appreciate it.
