Depends how you look at it. To me, this is a PHP script: Hello World Unlike any other scripting language, PHP gets out of the way of the most common operation, that of outputting stuff. It also means that PHP has the absolute shortest and simplest Hello World you can have. If you think of the entire file as the script, there is nothing inconsistent or even aethetically disturbing about it as far as I am concerned. -Rasmus -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
