This sounds right up my alley. I kinda like doing things the hard way and learning stuff (although it may take me way longer than it needs to since I don't spend all day every day working on this type of thing). For what it's worth, I like open source stuff. I don't know anything about php and asp, but it seems like I vaguely recall that php was an open source solution and asp was a Microsoft thing perhaps. Could be totally wrong. I'll start doing some research but if you guys have some good key words that I should search for besides what you mentioned, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
