No, you don't need to know java/perl to learn PHP scripting.
PHP scripting is based on Perl, like ASP is based on VB script, but it's not Perl per say.
Perl is not so hard to learn. In fact it's one of the easy scripting languages. Easier than Oracle, I recon.
Apache is a web server. Commonly used on the *nix platform.

Thanks allot for the help guys and gals.


.... Hippy, I was wondering, are you going to update Audio Vision (its Audio something can't remember)?

I really like it (WindowBlind skin) and can't seem to get the right colors and style for an Xp upgrade......

feline: to be honest, if you dont know what the words mean, you probably arent qualified

Sounds like the average IT Manager to me

I'm actually thinking of making a V2 of that suite (Which I can't remember the name of right now either ), but that won't be untill I get a new PC, which might be a while.

Please Hippy??? I really like it. I can't seem to make it into XP. I can't figure out how to make it match in ObjectBar either.... can't you just borrow a computer or something??

Well, I look foward to it, if you do update it. I is a really fine skin.


I know about Oracle and PL/SQL... just when I think I learned something that puts me in the running to get a tech job I fine more stuff they want you to know. Perl, Java, PHP.... PeopleSoft!! I never even heard of People soft until I read the want ads!!!! I will soon learn asp and asp.NET and already know VB script, some of Javascript and C++ , but then they say "Learn C or C#." Then they say "Don't forget Perl and the up and coming ColdFusion (CFM).

I just want to be a database manager/consultant/designer with internet/extranet/intranet capability focusing on security and web design.

Aren't they all related? I think so. Then there is this skinning thing... a gold mine if you ask me. If done right it can be incorparated to all the adformentioned with desktop gui design and company infrastructure managment, quality effiecincy, and a more human orianted work intoerface.


I really like the color pink. I do not know why. I hate purple. I love blue. Can anyone help understand what I have to do to become a geek? And what does it hjave to do with the colors I like?

Ah....I see....in the corrections there's a hidden message...

hey speaking of questions and what is stuff. I was wondering what is LogonStudio and is it easy to skin. I have windows 2000 so I can't use it suppossedly even though I have a logon screen (Novel). Can I still make a skin for it without having XP?
