Yes, I know that this will take a lot of work and I'm certainly not the right person to be doing this, given my knowledge of PHP.
Is anyone here making a script right now, or would anyonee like to give me some help on my current page (which is very drafty and probably not the right way to code it)?
Here's my current code, if anyone would like to look and help me. Most of the things which I need help on are in comments, where I have no idea what to do.
