Sure, it's possible, but I don't think PHP is the best solution for a
program like this. Remember that this would all be a web interface. So you'd
have to enter 32, hit Submit, PHP will process the page and show Hawaian
Pizza, etc.
Maybe PHP-GTK would be a solution for this, but I know almost nothing about
it. Google for info.
