It's a custom programmed php forum? Why re-invent the wheel.. Tables and Php? Tables (html) are interpreted by the client (browser). Php is just a "language" you use to tell the server what to do on the server side. You're not looking at php-code when you visit the forums but html (tables and stuff) that is generated by the server. Right click on this page and view the source. You will see html, css and some java script - but no php. What is happening on the server side and client side (browser) are two different things. You can develop smart solutions on the server side and still make it available for most users.
