But as we know PHP is a scripted language so no compilation takes place.

Unless you decide to be like Facebook (and a good handful of other popular websites) and run HipHop. But yes I would agree, I can imagine a beginner sitting there pondering on how to compile PHP haha

Yeah, & I won't pretend that I wasn't that kid, LOL. As a beginner, the most important thing about tutorials was the terminology, especially with complex processes. Some silly little error like that could leave someone cliffhanging for hours without any idea how to advance.

I certainly don't want that, so I'm glad someone caught my mistake.
