Re: Student Suspended Over Suspected Use of PHP

Ummm, No. That is NOT a real article. The site you got it from is a SATIRE site. Its funny, but no, not true. Although, i do get funny looks when i tell people im doign a lot of PHP lately. Ive even once been asked if i had 'any php with me'....Before i could get calmed down enough to answer, he had asked me how much it cost per gram.... I nearly fell over, and it took me nearly 5 minutes to stop laughing. -dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ignatius Teo" <iteo@scu.edu.au> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Sunday, June 25, 2000 9:41 PM Subject: [PHP-GENERAL] Student Suspended Over Suspected Use of PHP > A case of "shoot first, ask questions later"? :-) > > Ignatius > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: John Peter Gormley <jgormley@scu.edu.au> > To: <blackduck@scu.edu.au> > Sent: Monday, June 26, 2000 3:19 PM > Subject: For PHP users > > > > This is a true article: > > > > National News > > Wednesday June 14 10:10 PM EDT > > > > Student Suspended Over Suspected Use of > > PHP > > Topeka, KS - High school sophomore Brett Tyson was suspended today > > after > > teachers learned he may be using PHP. > > > > "A teacher overheard him say that he was using PHP, and as part of > our > > Zero-Tolerance policy against drug use, he was immediately suspended. > > No questions > > asked," said Principal Clyde Thurlow.
