<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") . '.

We will keep you posted about the progress. Thank
you for your patience.  Note also that the PDF version of the
documentation is also unavailable until further notice.

<h1>New Site Design</h1>

<p>
<font class="newsDate">[08-Mar-2001]</font>
You might notice that things look a little different around
here. We've streamlined the site, with a new design from the
esteemed Colin Viebrock. Bear with us while we shake out the
bugs that are surely lingering behind this new facade.
</p>

<p>
Looking for the <? print_link("/quickref.php", "quickref"); ?> box?  
Use the "search" feature, conveniently located in the top-right corner of every page. 
If you search for something in the function list (and it's a valid
PHP function), you will be directed to the appropriate manual page.
If the function doesn't exist, you'll get a list of all the PHP functions,
and and option to do a site-wide search for your phrase.
And don't forget to visit the <? print_link("/tips.php", "tips and tricks"); ?> page 
to add "quickref" functionality right into your web browser.
