Thanks Rowland, 
Looks like a good resource!

Yes, I've programmed in Basic and Filemaker Pro and some CGI.  I guess my
question is with the book because the code didn't seem to declare what
the variable was a variable of :-)  

Just saying something is variable but without assigning it a value or a
range or an array seemed like reading a dictionary with a list of words
but without definitions. 

Like, how does var $seshid  know that it is the ID stamp of a particular
session, rather than the ID of my browser type Is that an SQL constant 

Anyway, I'll have at the tutorials. Thanks again,

Jeff
