Hey, Was just going to the php.net site to reference the manual (always a good thing) when I absent mindedly typed in "php.com" instead....which brought up a nice site, worthy of our support, but not really what I had in mind coz its more focussed towards children, medical homes etc than the programming language PHP. Which brings up a little question, any idea of whats ZEND's (or anybody else that matters) opinion of using PHP in a domain name? eg: my-lovely-php-and-apache-website.com As you can see above, i mentioned apache too, any ideas of copyright issues for apace,php,mysql,perl etc etc?

I can't speak for the fine people at Apache and PHP, but being that they firmly believe in the open source movement, and the sharing of information, I wouldn't think that they would mind. There are already quite a few sites out there with 'php" in the domain name. However, even if they don't mind/care, it's still the best practice to ask for permission first. -- By-Tor.com It's all about the Rush http://www.by-tor.com
