Sortable table

[RockOfVictory]

This seems to be one of the largest PHP sites. I really don't know much about php and should probably buy a book about it. However....

I'm wondering if it would be pretty simple to set up a sortable table. I would like to set up the <table> I have on my http://zepfanman.com/bibleinf.html page so that a user can sort by each column (like mail.yahoo or hotmail does for example). Again, I only know a few <? statements and don't know how to integrate it with MySQL and stuff. My website is on One2host.com and it does support php, but I don't know about any other setups that may be necessary for what I need to do. Please let me know, or if you have any other php forums you could suggest. :roll:

Ok, you don't know PHP so explaining in detail would probably be a waste of time.

I will tell you how I would do it and hopefully you can get somewhere.

I would use arrays and sort the arrays.

You can also look for tutorials at http://www.devshed.com or php-builder.com

also I could probably put something together for you very cheaply. Let me know. tim@angrymosquito.com

I thought I'd throw out another post here just in case anyone else has any quick tips for this beginner's issue I'm having.

I'll probably see if Redcircle can do some of the dirty work for me, but again; I'm hoping there is not a whole lot to set up in terms of sql or the database itself. I'm not hosting my website on my own computer, so I would like to keep it pretty simple. If you'll look at the table I want sorted on my site, it is not something that I will be updating very often - so it's not complex. However, will this php table be able to keep the links or any other html I have in each cell?

Thanks again, my expert friends. I am a computer science major in college right now, so this shouldn't be too hard for me once I understand how to set it up.

I'd have to start paying extra for MySQL on my site if I wanted to use it. Can you do any simple database management solely with php (like this sortable table I'm trying to do)?
