[BTW, I could not find your key on us.php.net or eu.php.net; is it on a
keyserver?]

Do you have any programming or scripting experience?  If you know even a
bit of something it's generally helpful when you want to pick up something
else.

I speak perl and shell well, do a lot of scripting, and can read some C
(plus other things that have faded into memory :-)  When I hadn't yet met
php at all, a buddy bought me the PHP Developer's Cookbook from SAMS and
it was easy to understand and presented some useful examples, and I was
able to get started and do the work he wanted me to do (when I tried
twice to thank him for the book he told me to shut up because "it's a
self-serving gift" :-)  It's no "Learning Perl", but then again it isn't
supposed to be.

Having worked my way through that, currently my only reference is the php
manual from the web site; a quick search will take me to any function
that I want to use, and only rarely am I stumped with a "how would I even
approach this task?" problem -- and then this mailing list is wonderfully
helpful.
