While we’re at it, what th’ heck does the “PHP” button do?

Let’s find out:

```php
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plane!

```

And what does the # button do?

```auto

The rain in the plane is mostly two-dimensional!

```

Looks like it’s just the “code” tag.

I still don’t know what the PHP button does. I could read the FAQ or something, but that’s for SISSIES!

\>breaks down\<

I read the vB Code “Help”! \>sob\< I’m a…SISSY!

\<sob\>

(It has something to do with making some coding language called “PHP” show up in different colors. NOT something I need to worry about

I think I understand what most of these buttons and such do, but what’s **Enhanced Mode** in the vB Code box do? It doesn’t say when I click on the help link.

This post is to:
