Does any one think that we should nominate "feyd" for some sort of award given that he answers almoast always correctly every post?

He must have a serious library of books and some time to kill, I think we should thank him for it... :!: :?:

I voted yes, that is only if we can tell stories of when feyd moved and we had nobody here for like 2 weeks to answer our questions...

The funny thing is I use php a fair amout at work and this forum always does it for me when I hit a mental block... Ussually its something stupid but almost every time some one comes to my rescue catching my dumb mistake.

Lately I have used it a bit more and every time I get on I want to help some one and answer a question or two but feyd gets it before I can even read them...

First started programming in BASIC .... 21 years ago. Started in C, 10 or 11 years ago.. Went professional in.... 2001, I think it was.. maybe 2000.

Professional in this instance means: I was paid primarily by programming things.

I believe it doesn't come as a surprise when I reveal feyd's secret: he is, in fact, five different people:

1. One earns money
2. One chills
3. One posts here
4. Another one who posts here
5. Another one who posts here as well

Of course, two of the feyds have a time-travelling device.

Of course! No wonder he can do so many things at once.... :lol:

I think yes. He should get the n00binator award or something.

I have learned so much of php and mysql from feyd's replies and of course some others as well. This is probably the best php forum on the net due to someobody here having an answer for nearly all questions.

BTW: No MySql book?
