Brothers I have traveled far and passed my comprehensive exams since last we met. I have come to ask advice on the planning of a new script I have decided to do for fun for the web site of a metal band.
The script will have 2 main purposes:

• To create the current gig calendar on the fly from data in a text file (as I do not know anything about DBM).
• To create a form on the fly which will, with the correct password allow the user to update the calendar.

I want empty fields on the form (which end up as null elements in the scripts arrays) to cause the next non-null element to be promoted so that we always have date1=1/1/01&date2=1/11/01 as opposed to losing date2 and having date3.
And I would like to make the initial values of each textfield be the current value of that var.

I would love general reactions to this plan as in "Read up on the yatayata module it should help" etc. BTW this will be my first purely OO interface CGI script (I hope).
TIA
