<h3>What is PHP?</h3>
|
|
|
|
<P>PHP 3.0 is a server-side HTML embedded scripting language and it is a
|
|
complete rewrite of the popular <a href="http://php.iquest.net">PHP/FI
|
|
2.0</a> language. This rewrite is faster, more robust and uses less
|
|
memory than version 2. All users of version 2 are encouraged to
|
|
upgrade.
|
|
|
|
<P>The final version of PHP 3.0 has been released. See the
|
|
<a href="news.php3">in the News</a> page for the release announcement
|
|
and the accompanying press release.
|
|
|
|
<P>If you are new to PHP, a good place to start discovering the power of
|
|
this language is by clicking on the "Source" button in the
|
|
top right corner of all the pages on this site. What you see is the
|
|
actual PHP files that are behind each of the pages you are looking at.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Year 2000 Compliance</h3>
|
|
|
|
<P>Just like your C compiler or your favourite text editor, PHP is just about as
|
|
year 2000 compliant as your pencil. If you're still worried (perhaps all
|
|
pencils are built to break on December 31st 1999?) -
|
|
<a href="y2k.php3">read this</a>.
