I am not a programmer but managed to hack my way thru php to make my own bris import software.
The code below is something I wrote as an html wrapper. I found this easier to do all of my pages in php instead of flipping back and forth between html and php. Each function has comments to show what it does. Save the code below as html-wrapper.php

Here is sample code that calls the html wrapper and shows a web form for users to use. Save this as wrapper-test.php
<?php
// ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++
// Usage: This script displays the main html index home page.
// ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++
// ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++
// Include Standard Files.
// ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++
include_once('html-wrapper.php');
// ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++
// Start HTML Display
// ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++
htmlstart('Welcome to my Homepage');
// Start Index Page
tbs('800','HomePage');
trs();
tds('100%','left','top',1,'c3');
h1('This is H1 text.');
txn('This is normal text.');
brk(2);
txb('This is bold text.');
brk(2);
txu('This is underlined text.');
brk(2);
tde();
tre();
tbe();
htmlend();
?>
If you are running LAMP you can put these in your Apache Folder to see how they run by opening wrapper-test.php
Or you can just browse the code to learn.
