Way too many commands/functions to learn. You'll always come across a command line that u didnt know about that makes the method u use to do things much simpler.
Haha, exactly. I have yet to even experiment with cookies, and barely anything in regular expressions. php.net/FUNCTION_NAME is a life saver...

If only I could remember date() formats! bah!

24 hours? Sure.

But the trial and error processes will take MONTHS and no matter how long you are coding, and how good you get, you will continue to make mistakes and learn from them. :)

Years. Not months. Y E A R S - and you'll still be learning, which is great. :)

Lol! Opposite here, i used cookies instead of sessions. I find the combo of the two awesome n powerful. as for regular expressions, thanks for the help here on this board (especially to redmonkey, the RegEx Master) as well as several tutorials, I think i'm fluent in it now.

24 hours is a myth.
