So what's the secret to drag and drop like you see in WordPress widgets screen? And how do you get a good 2.0 PHP thing going? Cake; something else? I'm tired of the standard web .09 look that I get.

    Yeah brookshanes is correct..

    PHP can't do anything like Drawg&Drop.
    Its all done via Javascript/Ajax

    There are a couple of sites around with examples on how to do basic drag & drop.
    One that springs to mind is

    http://www.DynamicDrive.com

    Hope this helps

    If you want to do something like what Wordpress uses on it's admin panel, your looking for jQuery Javascript Framework.

    Just do a quick search for "jQuery tutorials" and you will find everything and more.

    try the jquery ui - User interface (jQuery UI - Home) - that might do pretty well what you need.
