I suspected as much, but what would the limits of php be? could php for instance handle values and objects which remained persistant betwene page changes, such as hp and inventory? i know games like Sryth use Javascript, ---- but again I'm not sure. Also as I said, if php or javascript is what is required, ---- is there any conveneient beginners' level code or tutorials I might have a look at just to get a general idea of what sort of thing I'm up against?
