thanks for being so helpful guys. My brother set me up with a server and am currently learning PHP. FYI, I am interested in learning programming as a hobby. Right now, i am trying to understand the fundamentals of computer programming through some pretty basic tutorials.
This decision of yours triggered me to post about my own PHP woes just now[1], but just so you know, I totally understand the value of having someone on hand to help you out. I think you're off to a good start, and I hope programming clicks for you. ^_^
