I am new to PHP. i am taking a class on PHP programming using MySQL. I am doing my homework at work, but all I have access to is Unix machine (A sun solaris 5.0...I THINK, I can't remember since I am not at work right now). I am using the OReilly PHP cookbook and one of the functions that caught my eye was the substr_replace() function. I have figured out how to use #! /usr/local/bin/php and PHP runs fine on Unix without needing HTML, but now I want to get a user to enter four sets of four numbers and then run the substr_replace() function. However, the two OReilly PHP books at my disposal rely heavily on HTML for user interaction and display. I would like some suggestions on how to get around this. Thanks so much having this site!!
