Deco -- ..and then De deco said... % % I am not new to programming, just to scripting languages. I have seen that Perl has some high advanced sintaxes for string processing, for example, but I don't know if the same level can also be achieved in PHP...? PHP is quite perl-ish, and supports some extended functions borrowed straight from Perl. % % As for the script below, could I run it inside a (my) browser? This could be in any browser? A browser won't run a php script; in a web surfing context it's the server that runs it, just like a mod_perl script. Just like Perl, though, you can php /path/to/myscript.php from the command line (if you built php to not only install a web server module but also generate a standalone executable) and away you go. You might want to use -q to turn off the http header output. So the short answer is "no", but don't let it throw you.
