Were not here to jump on anyone Bryan. We all had to start 
learning PHP at one time. I'm still learning. It's really 
cool to be able to help newcomers, and to pick up tips from 
others on the mailing list. I hope you get on very well with 
your efforts at learning PHP.

There is a handy quick reference for PHP just been released.

Check it out at:

I think I need to get one myself soon :)
