Ha ha. This looks like your homework. At school some people used to pay

I agree. I've found MS SQL (and MS Access databases) to be extremely fast
when well optimised, even with massive databases. As you can interface with
them using ODBC I prefer to use MS database backends when my clients already

Here's the problem. I have a php script which generates a Year-on-Year

Try using stylesheets instead of javascript. I think you need to use :hover

At a first glance:
$fp=fopen(brianLog1, "w+");
brianlog1 should either be in quotes if that's the name of the file and the
file doesn't have an extension. Or maybe it's a variable in which case
you'll need to put the $ in front of it..
Hope that helps

Maybe use strlen to check the length of the $i then if it's less than 2 do

Have you timed it? You might want to check it doesn't take longer than the
max_execution_time directive in php.ini allows (you'll have to check if

The English language can be just as confusing at times, and is full of
