Since most of my web projects fizzle out I've been trying to work on something with a smaller scope, so I decided to make a one-page web shrine to my favourite Pokémon TCG artist. I wanted to include a table with info on all the cards they illustrated, and since they're still making illustrations for new sets I decided to store the data in an array and then generate a table from that instead of coding it all manually.

The thing is, for some reason I decided to do it in PHP even though I'm more experienced (and it probably would have been easier) in JavaScript. I keep getting blocked over things like the data structure not being fit for purpose or not being able to autoload classes because I didn't set up the file structure right. For a one-page project it feels too cumbersome so I'm going to re-write it in JavaScript and see if I can simplify it!

I'd like to learn how to use PHP someday, but I think it'd be better on a bigger project.
