my first php program!!! (well, okay, this is actually my second, the first one being a simple "hello world!" print command)→[More:]

it's just a "dice rolling" program, an exercise in using a for-next loop and a random number generator, nothing too terribly fancy, complicated or impressive. but it's a first step! not to mention that this class counts as elective credit, and is the last one i need in order to finally get my a.a.!

Nice work... PHP is currently my favorite language to work with, mainly because it's pretty user friendly (in my opinion)...

Yay!

I don't actually know PHP but I like it because I can look at it and figure out how to get something written by someone else to do what I need it to do. So basically, I know just enough to be dangerous with it.

so far a lot of what php i've seen reminds me of visual basic for applications, and a lot of the mathematical functions work very similar to what you'd find in excel, so it seems to be a pretty natural fit for me.

i like it. which is good, because i'm trying to get a couple of chapters ahead of the class by the time my los angeles trip comes...

I used to have such a crush on php back in the day when I had websites. Congrats!

I loves me some php. Did you know it can even do neat stuff with graphics?

Way to go!
