Sorry, I just never see you talk about PHP or do much of it. Mind you, you do have a login system on your site..I think you made it.

You thought correctly. Besides, all the test covers is variables and stuff; I have yet to learn how to use a DB. so that test doesn't really show how good at PHP one is. I plan to integrate a database into my site soon, ocne I get around to sitting down and reading the DB-related part of my PHP book.

That's a MOO () - IMO this test is what really shows how good you are at PHP. Using a database is just a bunch of functions - It's not actually difficult once you start - the only thing you have to be good at is MySQL. These however show that you really understand what's going on in PHP, what all the core stuff is (although I can't say I've ever had the need for a reference, or alot of that stuff). Still, these bits are the real language, functions are just... functions, I guess.

I (mostly) guessed.

Did you site host come with a DB? If it doesn't, why not just put your site on borntoworm? I think the third DB is empty or as one table in it.

WHAT THE HELL. I didn't understand any of that at all.

(I missed out one by mistake and couldn't be arsed to go back and do it)

Please tell me, what does === mean in PHP?

I do believe it has to do with TRUE's and FALSE's.
Such as: if($item === TRUE)){
echo "Um..this item exists..";
}

Wouldn't == do the same thing?

it's equivalence. To quote the PHP manual

$a === $b - Identical - TRUE if $a is equal to $b, and they are of the same type. (introduced in PHP 4)

so in the thing above, if $item is actually a boolean type then it returns true, but if it's just a string with something in it, it will return false. I believe it will return true in both of those cases with a simple == though.

If you don't know any languages other than php this might not make much sense, because you never actually have to declair types in php...

"moo" == false, but "moo" !== false

Or, in other language terms, it's a comparison without type coercion (I think that's the term for it).

better example

("1" == 1) == true;
("1" === 1) == false;
