But I am editing the files on my local machine Apache server, so FTP is not 
used. I'm using the evaluation version of perledit, but I think I should try 
one of the other editors designed for code, such as notepad++ as suggested 
by Luuk.

Now that I can get the PHP to work, I want to add some more functionality to 
this. There are some widgets that are designed to handle contributions 
through PayPal and other services, but I wanted to make something simple 
that my friend can easily add to his forum:
http://dogsnharmony.com/community/

What I have now can be handled by simply adding the line:
<img src="goalgraph.php" alt="Help us get to our goal" />

The graph can be updated by manually uploading a new "goalgraphdata.txt" 
file with the amounts on an occasional basis, although it would be nice to 
see the graph update when the contribution is made. So I wanted to simulate 
this by having text controls where a member can enter an amount, and then 
click a "Contribute" button, and have the graph update accordingly. There 
could also be another text box showing the total contributions.

But I'm not sure quite how to do this. As it is now set up, I would have to 
add the new quantity, as entered in the HTML page, to the URL parameters in 
the PHP code. Or I could just write the new values to the text file. But I'm 
not sure how to transfer the values in the HTML controls to PHP variables to 
be written to the file.

I can't find any PHP functions that would provide a listbox or textbox where 
a user can enter data. Of course, I could echo an HTML input of type text, 
but I'm not sure if the value is visible to PHP, as it is with JavaScript. 
Maybe this requires JSON or an equivalent. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Paul
