Dear, I am looking for a php script that gives me the following output based on the amount of records in a particular mysql table: Fixed output table with 2 columns, 1 column with the numbers 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 .... 1.073.741.824 and a second column that should be filled out with a color based on the amount of records in the mysql table ... Like you see below there are 7 records in the database ( the | should be replaced by a color). If you have any ideas on how to visualise this in a better way, then please be my guest! Also the total amount should be show as an amount like .... Total users: 123456 I probably should also consider the fact that when I have 10.000 hits a day on this site that this script is not run 10.000 times back and forward to the database ... but once a day ... and stored. records column to fill up 2 ||||||||||||||| 4 ||||||||||||||| 8 ||||||||||||| 16 32 64 128 256 512 1.024 2.048 4.096 8.192 ........
