There are a number of ways to get tasks done on the intnernet. Some hard core programmers would use plain old C and CGI.
As for PHP Standards, follow the manual and best practices. Get a book on design patterns, especially the one by the Gang Of Four, as these patterns can crossover to the majority of programming languages. There are also plenty of MVC (Model-View-Controller) frameworks such as cakePHP and Symphony. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
