You're right, Jerry, I will never get it.
After an accumulated time of just over 3 hours, spent skimming
tutorials and tinkering with code, I got it working and it is now live
on my site.
So, let's see. I had never done anything with php before, I spent a
couple of hours skimming tutorials (not really reading them), I got
some sample code, wrote some of my own code, troubleshooted the code,
and got it working, all in less than 4 hours. Yeah, I must be too
"stoopid" to learn.
