This Group....

Hi there Got PHP going :) - ok - Is this the correct group to ask ? Or can anyone suggest another group / forum for newbie how-to questions.. BASICALLY :- Ive been programming in HTML / CGI (Perl) for several years, & have only 'briefly' done PHP.. - At work, Someone wants one of my CGI scripts to convert to PHP... Ive only discovered this forum a few hours ago - & have for the last 2 days/nights been trying to figure out how to get PHP going / running (on my home server).. (its Sunday Morning here)... Anyways, Can someone point me in the right direction to some tutorials ( & *EXAMPLES* ) to do the following functions (or point mer to an appropriate forum - see above).. :- Open a file & insert into an array/variable. (im trying to figure that one out now - get file-open errors).. (& close / flock etc... - not sure if flocking is on PHP ?) :- turn a variable (split it) into an array.. :- Loop through an array - & display a line IF it matches another variable etc.. I think those 3 things are good starting points - I think I'll learn fast - But just need pointers to the usage / PHP commands - That I know I can do in Perl..
