(I think its good like that..).. Yes, I remember the QBasic editor too. Personally, I found it horribly annoying, but (shrug) to each his own. I don't know of any such for PHP, but you could probably manage with a 'folding' text editor. Note that in PHP (like Pascal) it is possible to define functions-inside-functions; I haven't seen code that actually uses this, but it's something to keep in mind. > 1) Does PHP allow sub-routines, eg - I can send > values to the routine, & it processes it & does > whatever it requires & returns to the spot where I > called it from. yes, it's called a 'function'. http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.php > 2) For those of you that know Qbasic & know > what i mean, is/are there any programmes out > there that can allow you to view / see any > sub-routines in Perl and/or PHP one at a time, > & list them .. As above, don't know any offhand; but it should be easy enough to write code to return you a list of functions.
