Sup! Based on a video I watched recently called "Learn anything in 20 hours" or something like that ( ) I've decided to take on something I've alwayswanted to learn but been intimidated by, and that's programming. I don't know a lick of anything except some HTML snippets, no prior programming experience at all whatsoever. My goal is really to put forward 1-2 hours a day, for the next few weeks and learn PHP. I want to create a browser based program that gets data from costco.com (or whatever) and runs that data through a set of functions, to calculate a set of numbers. It'll then print out that data in some human-pleasing format in the browser. Sounds simple, but I'm going to have to learn how to request a page from another website, look into the code, get a variable, pass the variable back to my server/script, once I have all the data's, run them through my equation, then print it out. Anyways, that's me and what I came here to do. Wish me luck! Godspeed, Whales88
