hi all i have a web auction site and a php based forum so i know a little about the php code but im sick of have to ask others question's.. so im going to take a dive in the deep and and try and learn but then i got thinking is php the best one to learn, what i mean is it still going to be used in years to come or is there something else out you can see pushing its way so heres my questions 1) is php still going to be as big as it is now in 5 years 2) is there some other type of code you can see becoming bigger, so its more worth me learning that 3) what do you suggest thanks den
