Ahhh Lucky, what can I say??
Many, many. many years ago I started on Basic and Pascal (1981) later learned enough assembly , c++, vb etc
Don't care if it will work in next version, the learning curve itself is the funpart...

and if a module is needed in another version it will be adapted ( - assimilated, resistance is futile! -

)
Just join the club, php isn't that hard....
Beside, all the WB's will have a code page where you can enter plain and easy php to give it that extra umph.
Have fun,
John
