Drag & drop effect in php.

[Anon]

How can I give drag & drop effect in php. Can any body help me.
Thanks in advance.

Its not PHP your after, its XHTML (or CSC?)..

PHP is for server side things, the "drag and drop effect" will be done through the client.

Are we sure about this? It seems like the "right" way to implement drag-and-drop sort of functionality is through a Java applet that talks to PHP. (I know Java has some d-n-d vocabulary built in, so I would imagine it wouldn't be terribly hard to write that applet.)

To clarfiy, I'm thinking about d-n-d like "drag the photo to upload here -> <-" and you could drag a file from your desktop to the target (inside a browser window). I imagine that would trigger results being posted to a PHP page.

Hmmm found one web page that shows how to do something similar to this in Flash -- great idea.

The idea here is that, through a PHP script combined with some Flash code, you can drag objects around and their coordinates are saved in a mySQL database.
