I use php.net a lot too if I want to remember or find a certain function, or get some ideas. Thats why I was wondering about the php boards.. for something to read when I'm bored.

The PHP Developer's Cookbook is awesome. Do you have that yet ? I got the 1st Edition but haven't picked up the 2nd Edition yet. I'm not sure if it'd be a waste of money or not, depending on whats been added to it. If you dont' have it yet, definitely pick it up!

I use UltraEdit if I'm working on a windows box, or Pico if I'm on the linux box.

I don't use ADODB yet, it seems pretty bloated for what I do. I'm thinking of choosing a template system and learning it for future work.
i have 6 php books i think. barely use any of them. it's fun for a one-time read to get ideas, and i hardly ever have to go back to them again because php.net has everything i need

oh well, at least my bookshelf looks cool.
