I've also added a Google search bar to the site because Google is my favorite search engine. I also believe it is the most useful, relevant search engine out there. You'll find the search along the left hand bar on this page. You can search some of the pages here and our other sites, but Google hasn't fully spidered all of our sites, so I'd recommend using the php diary search for diary entry searches.

Online Tech radio released! Our parent site, tdscripts.com has released scriptschool.com which will be devoted to developing weekly radio shows on tech-related topics and the technical side of webmastering. These shows will be streamed live from our office over the internet every Friday from 2-4pm Pacific Standard Time and will include interviews with key webmasters, programmers, developers and entrepreneurs on the net and off.

12/30/02: Many new things brewing here at php-scripts.com including some XML syndication options, and a new homeroom forum at our sister site Script School to discuss php-scripts diary entries.

1/21/01: Wow, looking back over the last year since I started this website, I've learned a ton about PHP, but I am still learning almost every day. I haven't been able to update my diary as often as I had originally hoped, but I have been able to get a good chunk of useful information in there and from the reader reviews a lot of what I've put in there has been useful to you. I will be adding more to this diary in the future including the ability to add your comments to new diary entries, but at the same time I encourage you to visit Script School and stop by my weekly radio show for even more constant updates.
