 Having (mildly) criticised the manual,
 I feel I must spring to its defence here.
 
 First of all, it is by far the best on-line tutorial
 among the 3 or 4 that google gave me when asked "php (tutorial, howto)".
 
 Secondly, if you already know php,
 it is not clear what you want from a tutorial.
 
 Thirdly, as a php newbie (but fairly experienced in C and Java)
 I found the tutorial very useful.
 
 My criticism - if you can call it that -
 was that it could have stooped lower for the newbie.
