Thanks!!  Very interesting.  Everything I read says PHP is used on 
upwards of 80% of the sites on the Internet.  These guys say 77%.  That 
is a lot.  PHP is extremely wide used for not being a "real" language. I 
had to throw that in for the haters.

I've been a PHP dev since 2006.  It hit my radar in 2002 and in 2004 I 
started learning it.

Love PHP and web programming!
