OK, I finally took the bit in the mouth and started chewing. I'm doing some
php
for my own learning benefit and because I need to do some stuff in it for
work.

on a side note:

My mom is definitely a M$ drooler as she seemed to be under the impression
that
IIS and ASP was the most commonly used webserver/scripting language on the
web.
I've been telling her about php for the last year and only just this week
was I
finally able to show her that Microsoft was not GOD. heheh, those Netcraft
surveys are useful for something.

Hopefully I'll be able to wean her away from Micro$haft and into the *nix
world
(either *BSD or Linux).
