Re: Calling all PHP gurus

Timmi,

I used JavaScript to generate this browser safe color table, 
http://www.earthonly.com/color

You may want to adopt the concept for your PHP project. This script does
not use math to calculate the hex codes. It loops through the 6 hex
doublets to form the table array.

Good luck.
