Hello everyone!
I'm new here, and I love PHP so much.

Sorry, my English is so poor since I'm from China, so please correct me when I made grammar mistakes :p

drawmack

we have people from all over the world here with various levels of fluency in english (those from english speaking countries are usually the worst).

welcome aboard.

1300 of Merve's posts are of him saying he's the "wacky", "weird", "zany", "crazy", or "silly" one. You'd do good to just ignore him :p 😃

BTW, Welcome aboard 🙂

You forgot to mention stuff about beavers...

LordShryku

piersk

Ahhh, good point.

You mean where the site is hosted? In the states somewhere I would assume. My crystal ball says Chicago 🙂

Hi Forcey! Welcome to PHP Builder!

Hmm, the site is owned by JupiterMedia, whose headquarters is in Darien, Connecticut, USA.

As for the server location, Jebster, are you sure? My link does a lot of bouncing in Chicago, but take a look at the end of this...

... I'm at a loss on "ewr" and "msfc"... possibly that last is San Francisco, but, hmm, why "m"?

Welcome aboard and hope we can be of help to you in the future!

LordShryku

Is it just me, or does rgermain's South Park avatar look stoned?

Well thats what Crystal Ball(NeoTrace Express) said.. Guess my "Crystal Ball" is broken maybe!? 😕

forcey

Thank you all, it seems that you Westeners are much more friendly than Chinese people.....at least in the community forums.🆒

Merve

LordShryku is a liar. 100% of my posts are crap. 😃
