thanks guys... i really appreciate it. Do i need to have a REALLY REALLY good understanding for JavaScript before i begin PHP... I have only been programing websites for a month. I have previous programing exp. but nothing like this... I guess i have caught on quickly, but i'm still not that fluent in it... any ideas?

Knowing javascript is in no way a pre-requisit to learning PHP. I found it quite easy to pick up PHP after lerning javascript, though. One difference is that PHP is not an OOP like javascript is. PHP does have support for objects, but is not a true OOP, nor is there any intention of making it so. But, syntactically, it is similar to C based languages, so depending on what you previous programming experience is, you may find it very easy to pick up.
