[Resolved] Drag & Drop in PHP?

[NoBullMan]

Hi,
is there a way of implementing drag & drop in PHP?
I have a site that deals with home builders. I was asked if there was a possibility of presenting the users with a floor plan where they can mark it to specify the location of, say, outlets, speakers, security cameras, ...
The locations of these items would then update some variables, or database that can be retrieved or modified later.
Is it possible to do this in PHP?

Thanks.

Ok, PHP is server-side, which means that by the time it has reached the browser, there is no PHP for the browser to run.

I think what you're lookin for is using either java, javascript or flash

Hi,
I think what I meant to ask was if there was a way of doing this without having to re-write the whole thing. There already is an onlne ordering system in place, using PHP. I was wonering if I wanted to add this drag & drop capability, could I do it without having to re-wrtie the site, by just integrating whatever I need to do this drag & drop business, with the PHP code.

Yes you can do this by editing the PHP code, but the PHP code will need to output either javascript or java.

Thanks Piersk,
does javascript support drag & drop stuff? If so, how?
