What an awesome trick! I'll give it a try. Thanks for putting it together. As a newbie to php, I find I work best with cheat sheets. Since I always have my iPhone with me, I keep them there. The best one I've found so far is from these guys:

They also have great cheat sheets for CSS and Javascript. Hope this is helpful!
