This is easy and Quanta is more than equipped to be your tool of choice.

What Andras said. Looks weird to me. You mean that your php-scripts will
be in the database for retrieval and execution? I tried that a few years
back, just for fun, and failed miserably. Way too much hassle. :-)

Where will you put your libraries? require() and include() won't work on
a 'file' in a database. How will you debug your application? php won't
find a line number in a table cell (think about missing an ';'
somewhere...).

Unless you have *really* pressing issues to do this: don't do that. IOW:
what problem are you trying to solve?

Save time, money and hair and get yourself a (few) good php book(s) if you
are coming from a 'plain html' background. I'm currently reading
"Advanced PHP Programming" by Schlossnagle, BTW. I also like Sitepoint
books.

What other tools are you evaluating?

Buhbye... Nico
