I'm not sure about this, but isn't PHP for webpages? Or is it general windows design, what is it? Just wondering, because I'm learning C++ right now and that seems to be easy, although tedious <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Congrats Doomeh, good luck with that. Now I just need a job...
Quaunaut: PHP is primarily a web based language yes, although it can be used for scripting purposes on linux as well. But its not just regular HTML, its a program that runs server side to generate the HTML and send it to the client. Not just HTML either, as if you coded the generation of JPEG's for example you could send those (or at least you can w/ Java Servlets). Its similar to Java's Servlets/JSP or Perl (cgi) in purpose, but as of right now its the "hot item" goin around. Speed wise its about as fast as Java as they're both interpretted.
Online shopping sites, web based email, news sites, even these forums, are all possible with PHP. Each time you connect its making a new page and sending you the HTML that you end up seeing. Probably the quickest example is the "Logged in as: <username>" in the top left corner. If you view the HTML source there's nothing special about it, but PHP on the server end reads your session id and once you're logged in it inserts your username into there rather than displaying a "log in" link.
Any scripting language, really. They're good for gluing different programs together, such as webpages to databases.

Quaunaut: C++ can be adapted to do almost anything, and you can practically reshape the syntax of the language if you really want to. That's not to say it can *easily* do anything. Scripting languages are very good at stuff like string handling, C++ is good for stuff like big, complex projects. There's very little it won't let you do, which is why I like it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->.

Congrats Doom, Remember to wear your best helmet and bring your shinyest dual barrel shotgun to the first day of work. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> You gotta make an impression...

Congrats, DOOM. I'll wait with saying that you deserve it until you found out whether you enjoy the job, though <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

You may celebrate, master, by kicking me 5000 times today, instead of the usual 1500.
