there is a PHP forum :eek: :rolleyes: :P ;) LOLI ain't answering! :rolleyes: Plese see first line of signature! :DSure! PHP is short for
Phil's Home Page!
see php.net for full expo:D Phil's Home Page! :D

you're kidding right :)no - i'm not.than I have to say sorry you are wrong, it doesn't stand for that as it stands for

PHP, which stands for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor"

right out of the manualI have read that PHP originally stands for Personal Home Page.. I think version 1 was just a collection of Perl scripts or something for homepages, like counters and whatever, and from there it grew...I guess I better set the story straight.

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/history.php">http://www.php.net/manual/en/history.php</a><!-- m -->

it started as perl scripts but the final version before released to the public was all CFor an online reference, you can use <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.php.net/">http://www.php.net/</a><!-- m -->

Plus they have a very nifty function reference lookup and online manual that comes in very handy...

OF course, you'd probably be best at starting off with a good book or two. O'Reilly books are sweet but sometimes too detailed when you're just looking for a quick function look up. Don't get me wrong, O'Reilly books rock! but I mainly use them to get a detailed explaination of functions and abilities of languages ( that's what they do best )

The best books of all time for picking up on languages reallll quick is the Visual Blueprint series by maranGraphics... They get straight to the point ;)

For PHP:
PHP: Visual Blueprint (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764535617/qid=1050909526/sr=1-14/ref=sr_1_14/002-4171812-1070415?v=glance&s=books">http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... ce&s=books</a><!-- m -->)

And they even have one for HTML:
HTML: Visual Blueprint (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764534718/qid=1050909236/sr=1-4/ref=sr_1_4/002-4171812-1070415?v=glance&s=books">http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... ce&s=books</a><!-- m -->)

And JavaScript
JavaScript: Visual Blueprint (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764547305/qid=1050909236/sr=1-7/ref=sr_1_7/002-4171812-1070415?v=glance&s=books">http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... ce&s=books</a><!-- m -->)

To find them all on Amazon.com just copy and paste the following code for searching on amazon.com:

<form method="post" action="http://amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/" name="searchform">
<input type="hidden" name=url value="index=books">
<input type="hidden" name="field-keywords" size="15" value="visual blueprint">
</form>

<a style="color:ffff00;" onclick="searchform.submit()" onmouseover="this.style.cursor='hand';this.style.color='00ff00'" onmouseout="this.style.color='ffff00'"><u>click Here</u></a>
