I think my friend is going to have more trouble with PHP than I am and
were
both going to have the same trouble of switching from the mentality of
developing
command line interface programs ( me for Linux ), and gui programs
( him for

happens
on how it looks on the clients web browser. You just pray that it
looks
good. That will be a new concept, to learn.
