Perhaps, but I don't think so. While many things in PHP are still 
unknown to me, a lot is known to me. I've gained a LOT of knowledge over 
the last few months and have put 99% of it to use. My goal hasn't been 
to learn all there is about PHP and likely never will be since IMO 
learning how/where to find answers, understand the syntax properly, 
error checking, sessions, arrays and the like have been my recent goals. 
I write online PHP forms for websites and that's where my attentions are 
focused until I know them well. The "manual" at php.net and w3 schools 
IMO are the best "bibles" plus a few other places like NAS and Tizag are 
pretty good too, among others.

While I appreciate your attitude toward noobies, I've found over the 
years that words such as this are never understood by over-sized ego's 
or OTOH might draw some flames. I've come across several of that type on 
other newsgroups and forums I participate on. Mostly it's best just to 
ignore their posts. Personally I'll usually respond in kind to such a 
thing one time and then simply ignore them.

I do thank you for your attitude, however,
