Hey guys, Seeing if anyone has had luck setting up email to be sent using xampp. Xampp suggests using PearMail and Net_SMTP Mail. I tried that but couldn't get it working. I also seen some older stack overflow answers that are way over my head. So, I'm just seeing if anyone has any tips or suggestions for this. If I can't get it working maybe I'll try it on a hosted server. Thanks!

Hey Larry, Just curious what you thought. I noticed ALOT of communities in webdev consider PHP as something to be avoided in favor of tech like node, express, etc. I'm skeptical of consensus opinions in general and wanted to see what a professional would say.. My problem is that these opinions are made by screen names with no frame of reference as to whether it's a professional or another amateur just repeating opinions their camp counselor told them. Some say PHP is too difficult compared to node and JS on the server. However, I've found the opposite. It seems PHP is much easier to get a working app than node/js. They also say that PHP encourages bad code. But i've seen that same exact argument against JS! As far as getting a job or freelance work, is PHP a waste of time as "they" say? As a beginner, I have a hard time distinguishing between good opinions based on fact and opinions based on opinions. Thanks, Chad

PLEASE DISREGARD. Looked it up..

Hey Larry, Just curious, is it difficult to implement the CKEditor for this forum? I was thinking about taking the info from your book and creating a basic blog. Also, any tips to keep in mind while working with CKEditor? Thanks, Chad

AHHHHH, there it is. Thanks Larry, really good book so far.

Hi Everyone, Just curious. I'm looking at the gender part of this script and it has a elseif nested in a if else lines 45 - 57. Is there a reason for the nested else? The returned statement says "Gender should be either M or F!" but there's no discernible way to select anything other than M or F. Thanks!
