No worries, let me know when you are ready. Heck, it might even be available for public download soon. Michael J.

I would love to help test it but won't have the rest of the site available for a few weeks (at least). I'll try to think about a fuller list of PHP Newsgroups and Sites (there are *tons* of them). I've found that I can get a faster response from more ppl for PHP than I ever could from ASP. I'll try to get that list up soonest.

I write Internet apps for a living, and have been doing so for a few years. No need to tell me how good PHP is, I already know it rocks. :) I'm just looking for additional resources, like newsgroups or websites. (Newsgroups apparently don't exist yet, but someone did post a short list of sites that are useful, thanks!) BTW: if anyone here is writing e-com apps in PHP, I've nearly completed a PHP interface to InterShipper's shipping quote service. (Gets shipping charges for many different carriers) I'm looking for a couple of people who can help in testing (it's fully-functional, but needs more/better error-control and data validation). Info on the module is at http://www.desertraven.com/phpintershipper.html I haven't posted the module yet, since I'm still changing it frequently, drop me a note if you want to test it. Michael J.

It's extremely easy to learn, especially if you have a rudimentary understanding of programming. Additionally, resources are actually fairly abundant with lots of example code to gander at. The PHP site has links to many of these source repositories. A few books have been published, but I'd read the customer reviews to get an idea before ordering one. I'd be happy with a reference book, but have happily made do with the online manual. Setting it up on your computer takes a few steps, but is fairly straightforward. I got the latest src.rpms for Apache, MySQL, and PHP - and edited the PHP spec file to produce a MySQL module (it defaults to postgresql) and with some very minor tweaking I've got it all up and runnning on my system first time around. I find it easy to do both linear and object oriented programming with. I don't know if I'm ready to abandon Perl, but PHP is quite powerful in it's own right...

I need to create a UNIX server with the following configuration. FTP (Anonymous and password required) Apache supporting HTML, CGI, Perl, VRML, Java, FrontPage 2000 extensions, Real Audio DNS and Bind Email (sendmail or something else) I am not picky on the OS... Any Linux flavor or BSD. I have a client that is interested in this and I am no expert in LINUX/UNIX. Can someone point me to someone whom can do a professional setup similar to the one I mentioned above. I am looking to add some UNIX servers to our network but never have time to do so. So any nudge in the correct direction would be appriciated. Thank you, Gilbert T. Gutierrez, Jr. gilljr@phxinternet.net
