Hey, can anybody give me a basic outline to what CSS and PHP are? Right now, I'm designing an HTML e-commerce site. Is there a way to import it to CSS or whatever?
Thanks

css is a way of specifying styles for your html objects. For instance, if you look at the left bar of this page, to all the Special Reserve links, they are all in the same text style. There are two ways of doing this: either you set each one to be , or you define a style and just use that. It makes creating and managing (particularly large) websites a lot easier.
php is a way of dynamically generating webpages rather than just reading them in from a static file. For instance, look at this page, which contains the original post that you typed into text boxes in a webpage at your end, and our replies which we typed into webpages at our end. This is not possible to do with html - what happens is that all of our posts are stored in a database, and when someone comes along and clicks on a thread, the page is dynamically generated using information from that database. The interfacing with the database is done with php. This is a subset of it's abilities.
If you don't know what css and php are, I don't honestly think you have the knowledge and skillset (yet) to make a website that's going to earn you any money.

Thanks. I'm not doing it for the money, I'm just 'training myself'. I made an e-commerce site using Microsoft Publisher and let's just say i learn from my mistakes ...and by asking questions

Fair enough. My favourite resource for learning about stuff like css and php has always been Webmonkey, which is back after a brief period of dormancy :>
