Riva, Have a look at 34sp.com. The UK arm starts at £15 a *year*, that's under $30 even at current exchange rates. I think the US arm has a similar fee structure. They offer a lot for the money and more for higher payments of course. Joseph > Hi all, > > I am looking for a new ISP and was

In the book I am trying to 'learn and make' from this is an input line from a sign up form. As you can see the value is given some php code, but this appears in the input window, which seems odd.Is there a reason for putting php code there? The author says this is for error checking purpos
