Web application advice (PHP / SQL)
Hello,
I'm looking to create a web based application that will give a user a list of available items (picked up from SQL) - but i'd like to try and improve on using html forms to pass data around.
My goal is to have a list of available items on the left, and a workspace on the right - then be able to drag the items (either in text form, or boxes) to the otherside - when the user drags an item across, a few sql queries need to be processed (editing the data to show its been taken)
Can anyone point me in the right direction - just need some info on the best way to create that - i'm guessing AJAX - but is there anything else that will get me a bit further than that (ideally drag and drop / html5) - sample code / examples / tutorials would be good :)
Thanks

Thanks very much for both your comments :)
The jquery looks like what I'm after! - I've also come across this guide using DHTML / AJAX:
http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/scripts/drag-drop-nodes/drag-drop-nodes-demo2.html
I'll look into both of these and see what I end up with, pretty sure with this info I can produce what I need :)
Thanks again.

Thanks for using EE and thanks for the points. And best of luck with your project, ~Ray
This in total, with the Server Mysql and Ajax is more that should be asked in a single question here.
