Any coding (that works) is a good learning tool. And for the more experienced code that doesn't work is a good learning tool when trying to make it work.

Jeremy: Good job, even if some people don't think so =P
my whole site (http://www.lightningrobotics.com) is basically based on one code snippet that i found in the php help file. tought me how do do queries, arrays, while loops, and a lot of other stuff. I also agree with what some others are saying (you don't have to reinvent the wheel) but we did too. you get a bit of satisfaction knowing that you could do it as good or better than something else. Also, if you alter others code, you prolly don't care too much about programming it. I programmed our site because i thought it was fun. just my $.02
