| You got the wrong idea. Nobody needs to teach you php, you simply need to
| learn it. Start by reading a tutorial or two, and then, with a good
| reference handy and a php enabled server, go crazy. And read lots of
other
| peoples code, and read the news as well. Then you will know how to do,
which
| is half of the battle. The other half is getting something done, but once
| you do, your foot is in the door, and if you do good work, opportunities
| will come in abundance. The paper credentials are pretty much
meaningless,
| and the related technologies change so fast that any course you might find
| would likely be at least a little out of date, and quite possibly even
| obsolite. Just keep reading php.. there's free information everywhere.
Use
| it, and good luck.

tony, did you just get here and decide to hit EVERY dead thread?

this guy knows php already. he wants a certificate.

and, saying that paper credentials are pretty much meaningless is a load of
hoo-ha. they are VERY important to SOME employers...and those my be the
employers WITH WHOM he'd like to work! surely you hope that your BA is not
meanlingless! what kind of fool would that make me, having a PHD?!!!
