Let me start by saying that this is just a great tutorial, and @newdreamers' addition is just the icing on the cake. Just one question, is there an advantage to using a PHP block over an HTML block that does an AJAX call out to another PHP script that returns your data?
Seems like either method would get you the desired effect and the AJAX method would let the page load while the AJAX-requested data is loading. On the other hand, there may be great advantages to using the PHP block see more
You can use Ajax with the php block no probs!
I prefer pure PHP for my blocks as it gives me more control of data should I need it in the future.
Best,
