PHP skillset and use in detail:
I have used PHP for command line scripting, website programming and desktop GUI development (using GTK and Glade). My knowledge of PHP and programming is excellent, and I continue to explore and acquire new skills. I am very fluent with nearly every PECL package and I've used several PEAR packages as well. I have several articles published in the International PHP Magazine, and I have presented seminars at the Sydney PHP user group.

A major project at ACU required the use of PHP with Excel (using COM to create and read excel files) that controlled the transfer of data from Oracle to MS SQL with different and incompatible database structures.

Other projects have required the use of PHP to enable automated FTP functionality, COM (to create Word Documents), GTK to create desktop GUI's, reading emails, charting capabilities, SMS text messaging, PayPal.

Alot of my articles have been published in the C++Builder Developer's Journal. If you search my name you will find over 2 dozen articles, most of which can only be accessed by subscription members only. However two of my very first articles I ever had published are accessible for public viewing.

My first PHP article was published in a printed version of the International PHP Magazine. I can not find a link to that article on the internet anymore. My subsequent PHP articles have been published on the electronic version of that magazine.
