The Joy of PHP

I've recently started learning PHP. It all begun when I wanted yet another guest book script for one of the websites I work with. None of those I found were good enough, or wrote code that were standard enough, and none of them integrated into the existing design of the site without hundreds of template files. So, as a programmer, what do you do? You learn, of course. It didn't take me many days to code up a guest book I was pleased with. Since then I've written a few other things in PHP, and what's struck me is how easy it all is. Lots of stuff is already built-in, and if it isn't, it's usually easy to code it up yourself. Any self-respecting web programmer should have this tool in his or her tool belt.
