Here's what I think about your denegration of non-VB code and IDE's: pthlblblbpthlthtlptpththt PHP uses a different syntax and structure from VB. You knew that when you started, so why complain about it? If you read the documentation, you whould have noticed that PHP is based on C/C++, Java, and Perl. All of these languages are case-sensitive and they use similar logical comparison characters which are different from VB. On a related note, don't forget that == is a comparison operator and = is an assignment operator in any of these (at least I think). You call youself a programmer, you should know that. If you want to live in a VB World, then stick to VB, VBA, VBScript, and ASP, and leave everything else to people who are willing to write cross-platform-ish code.
