(Doesn't 1.7 million constitute spamming LOL) Peter PS - for those outside UK who are wondering what I'm on about, there has been an online petition against proposed road charging running on the 10 Downing Street site. Over 1.7 million people signed in protest by the time it closed at midnight last night and Tony Blair has said he'll reply to everyone!. Of course as always he'll probably say "I read what you said but we'll do what I want to do regardless."

Re: [wdvltalk] Which language to use?
Thanks for that Drew. I decided to have a crack at this while I was on holiday in Australia recently and my son - who is a full-time consultant to the Australian Government on their IT work in their equivalent tot he DSS (or whatever we call it now!) - showed me stuff he was dong for himself on his own web site using WAMP and Joomla. I got the basic idea fairly quickly so now plan to produce a site using it. Probably take me some time but Joomla has a very comprehensive manual and good forum and I've also got all of you on here, not as many as we used to have some years ago, sadly, as it's always sad to see old friends fade away, but plenty of good advice I've been able to draw on. Look forward to seeing you all around for the next ten years while I get to grips with this!

Re: [wdvltalk] Which language to use? - Linda?
What I can't work out with these automatic responses is why - since it is sent to the responder from the list - it sends these messages to the original sender and not to the list, which has become the immediate sender; if any of that makes sense! And thenHit reply and although that goes to the list the info is of the original sender. That still doesn't answer it; the list remains the reply address. One makes effort to extract the original sender's address if there is a need to use it. Well digits to the world - I mean here's to the digital world. Joseph From: "Peter MacGregor" No it's not Joseph. I've just had exactly the same thing with the cheeky response I sent to you! It appeared on the list and then I got a mail like this as well I've emailed Linda to see what's what but she's probably still in dreamland so it will be later today before we hear anything.

Well, if you already know Perl and want to just get the job done, then that's probably a safe choice :) If you're up for a challenge and a little learning along the way, then Matt's right, PHP is pretty easy to learn, and if you already know Perl you shouldn't find it too hard.

[wdvltalk] Which language to use?
Hi all, Been kinda quiet on this list lately - is everyone still out there? I am starting to write a program for a client of mine. They want to be able to configure options, etc. for catering events (i.e. linens, bar, venue, etc.) Each option has a different effect on the price. Any ideas as to what language to use? I know Perl but is that the best option? Java? Something else?
