                        PHP 3.0 is a server-side HTML embedded
                        scripting language and it is a complete rewrite
                        of the popular PHP/FI 2.0 language. This
                        rewrite is faster, more robust and uses less
                        memory than version 2. All users of version 2
                        are encouraged to upgrade.

                        If you are new to PHP, a good place to start
                        discovering the power of this language is by
                        clicking on the "Source" button in the top
                        right corner of all the pages on this site.
                        What you see is the actual PHP files that are
                        behind each of the pages you are looking at.

                        So, how much does it cost?

                        This may sound a little foreign to all you
                        folks coming from a non-Unix background, but
                        PHP doesn't cost anything. You can use it for
                        commercial and/or non-commercial use all you
                        want. You can give it to your friends, print it
                        out and hang it on your wall or eat it for
                        lunch. Welcome to the world of Open Source
                        software! Smile, be happy, the world is good.

                        Year 2000 Compliance

                        Just like your C compiler or your favourite
                        text editor, PHP is just about as year 2000
                        compliant as your pencil. If you're still
                        worried (perhaps all pencils are built to break
                        on December 31st 1999?) - read this.
