PHP intro

Contact:http://www.packetnexus.com

http://www.nwfusion.com/columnists/2001/00301768.html

Last week we started looking at the Web server scripting language PHP.
As we saw, the open source language is not only wildly popular, but also

site and a tremendous library of documentation and you can see why PHP
is so highly regarded.
