<h3>What is PHP?</h3>

<p>
PHP is a server-side, cross-platform, HTML embedded scripting
language.  If you are completely new to PHP and want to get some idea
of how it works, have a look at the ' . make_link("/tut.php", "introductory tutorial") . '.
Once you get beyond that, have a look at the example archive sites and some of the 
other resources available in the ' . make_link("/links.php", "links section") . '.
</p>

<p>
PHP is a project of the '.make_link("http://www.apache.org/","Apache Software Foundation").
'.</p>

<h3>So, How Much Does It Cost?</h3>

<p>
This may sound a little foreign to all you folks coming from a non-Unix
background, but PHP doesn\'t cost anything.  You can use it for commercial
and/or non-commercial use all you want.  You can give it to your friends,
print it out and hang it on your wall or eat it for lunch.  Welcome to
the world of ' . make_link("http://www.opensource.org/", "Open Source") . ' software!
Smile, be happy, the world is good.  For the full legalese, see the ' .
make_link("/license/", "official license") . '.

<h1>Manual PDFs are available again</h1>

<p>
<font class="newsDate">[04-Aug-2001]</font>
The long awaited PDF format of the manual is back again.
The PDF packages are better than ever, now compressed with
gz, bz2 and zip to be smaller. We made the
<a href="/docs.php">online documentation</a> and the
<a href="/download-docs.php">manual download</a> pages separate,
so you don't need to wait for a whole download page to
load, if you would like to read the manuals online.
