Switching to PHP: What's the Language Difference?

This article is intended for readers getting started with PHP, but who are already familiar with another Web based language. It points out some of the main areas where things are different from other languages (particularly Perl, Javascript and VB/ASP) to help you get started. This article is not intended to be an in-depth look at PHP functionality. Rather, it is meant as a review of those PHP features that should be of particular interest to the Perl, Javascript, and VB/ASP programmer.
