ShortCutMan ♥ Pure ♥ Bred ♥ Geek ♥	I would just like to know what PHP does. I've seen it all over the place and yet I still don't know what it means -- 98% of the internet population has a Myspace. If you're part of the 98% that is an emo bastard, copy and paste this into your sig.

40ozFreak	I couldn't tell you what it means, but I believe it's basically like user-oriented coding for web design. Like I think some forums use variations of PHP, as do many sites these days. Someone better at this could tell you more.

milliams	For those who can't be bothered to click the link. PHP is a scripting language. It stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. -- "PEOPLE ARE DYING TO MEET ME" - Death

Madman_450	PHP is a way of writing things such as form handlers, polls, even forums without using external cgi or perl scripts. It allows for includes and scripts to be embedded in it. Instead of saying something like <form action="f00script.cgi"... you would just type the entire thing in the document. I hear its good but ive never used it myself. -- MadnessDesign - Madman.ani3k.com.
