Hi Renoir

Thanks for the tip.  I have book-marked it and will try to read a bit of it every day.  The main problem I have is getting to grips with all the jargon.  I find that reading one paragraph usually involved half a dozen jumps to Wikipedia or something to understand what the terms mean.  Nevertheless, I guess the job will not get any easier unless I start it.  Thanks again.

Hey Santilal

Since you are searching to update your knowledge, I strongly suggest you have a look at the following technologies.

PHP is now at version 5.5 and a LOT of things happened since 5.1.

- PDO (Use PHP objects to represent DB entry and relations, SQL transactions, etc; see Doctrine2)
- Composer (Dependency management)

And also the site PHPTheRightWay.com as a starting point to learn latest development.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Renoir Boulanger
