I am sure it was an error on my part but I thought I was told PHP could run on the clients side like javascript does. I am reading a book and don't really see any of that exaplained. Was I misinformed?

Also, does anyone know of a good PHP tutorial that might help me get a jump start? Thanks.

And what does the /n/n do that I keep seeing?

PHP is strictly server side.

\n stands for NewLine. \n\n would mean two newlines. You'll see it a lot with print() and echo(). People are just adding 'enter's to their HTML code....

http://php.net has a great manual, a function lookup, and a links page that has sites with tutorials.
