Question about PHP...

    This flies way beyond my head but I need to ask someone. When you are programming in PHP, is there like extensions for it or something? I have seen a lot of PHP scripts in my time. I have saw that some require this little thing called 'GDLibary', others require a loader called 'Source Guardian', and then to blow my head off my shoulders there is something called 'Ioncube'.

    :confused: Gah! >...< I am just so confused about this.

    PHP is built over a small core and has many extensions that you can enable/disable at your convenience. Nothing to worry about. :)

    Awwww... (as the wise man once said) Is that why PHP is smaller & doesn't have as many functions as other programming languages?

    Nope, lol (^=^) I need to give the manual a look-over. I have been so busy trying to learn XHTML & CSS. I am afraid to move on. Why doesn't PHP or CSS have a manual?
