HTML for GX rankings page...

Dave, can you inform me on what program or web server you use to create the rankings page. I would like to get started a non-dakou rankings page for the people that can't read Japenese to submit to Sugi's site. It seems that fzerocentral is going to be anything goes, so I'll start a rankings page without dakou and flying and such. People who read this and already don't do any dakou (mainly David Van Moer) you can still keep your non-dakou times here, or submit them to me to see how you rank among the other non-dakouers. Dave already told me it would be a great idea to make a page for non-dakou because he will probably keep F-Zero Central with anything goes. Also, I will let you know when I get the HTML done and find a webserver or whatever unless Dave wants to hold the page on the same place that F-Zero Central is hosted on. I will also need help with the rankings if a lot of people join. Thanks!
Ryan E. Jenning

I use Microsoft Excel to store and process the times. From there the data files are saved as .csv files (which are comma-delimited). CSV files can be read by PHP, which is the web language I use to create the rankings. You also need a good grasp of HTML to use PHP, because your output to the page will still be HTML. I don't use any fancy graphical interface editor, I just edit the PHP and HTML while viewing the code. Very "old-school" of me, don't you think?

Slightly off-topic but, I think people should state whether they are using this dakou or not so you could add that to there profiles (like GP mode on MV).

I'm looking into it, it could possibly be done by having snaking times/speeds be a different color on the track rankings and profiles (I think DVM made that suggestion). There would be a legend on each page clarifying the color-coding. It would need check-boxes on the form, but also a little more work for Roland as a result. 
Assuming that I go forward with this idea, I'll need to act soon, before the competition gets so big that we can't reasonably go back and determine where all the snaking PRs are.
Dave
