PHP - Introduction

There was a time that if you wanted to learn any serious programming you had to invest in an expensive shrink-wrapped box of some language or other. You can still do that if you want to, but the open source movement has removed one of the barriers to entry by making a number of seriously useful programming languages available to anybody with the time, energy and determination to master them. Of course, having the time, energy and determination is far harder than writing a cheque so programming is still something that not everyone gets around to doing or indeed would want to. But if you do, PHP is one such freely available resource. I have decided that I want more control over my blogs and website so I am going to try and learn PHP. You are welcome to come along for the ride.
