Thanks.. I'm pretty new to the whole world of development with PHP.. I've done development with Java in the past.

I guess I need to setup a mysql database on my laptop and setup a server etc

Also could you give me any help with setting a session variable or smarty template and accessing it from another or php page..

I have 3 pages that I wish to be like my homepage but depending on what the user selects they are always presented with data specific to that selection..
