Fun with PHP & Ajax

Well I have spent the last week working on a form for my works website, I decided to do it in PHP, but it has been a couple years since I had done any work in it, so spent a day getting back up to speed. I am savig the form info into a mySQL  database, then each month we will download it and import it into our intranet database. One problem with the form is that there can be a large number of entries depending on who is inputting their info. I did not want to hardcode a bunch of rows that would not be used, or not have enough rows. SO I dug around and found some Ajax libs that would let me do what I wanted…except the first one would not let me do any validation against the created row. So I dug some more and found a great forms lib wForms and spent a couple days playing with it. Things were going great..then I tested it in IE6…..error did some digging found a fix and got it working in IE 6&7. So tomorrow I will clean it up, and get it up on the website..  It is nice to be doing some web stuff again after doing nothing but intranet stuff for years.
