RE: FW: PHP.COM's courteous link to the PHP programming language website

Roy, This sounds fair to me. However, I agree that if the link says "PHP Language Site", it is a bit misleading. Changing it to "PHP Language Resources" or "Looking for the PHP language?" or something like that would probably be "better". :) Thanks again, - Colin > Hey Colin, > > Trudy forwarded your note to me.

I know Trudy shortened the link to read "PHP > Language Site", which may be a little confusing.
