Hi, I'm brand new and an up and coming webmaster. The functionality on this site would be great for a dating service. Does anyone know what technology is used (ASP.NET or Perl/Cgi is my closest guess.)

First of all, welcome! (BTW, are you really a girl? If so, you are one of very few here. Double welcome! )

As for tools used to build this board, if '.../php/something.php?....' part of URL tells you nothing (and you want to learn webmeisterei), I suggest a look at some of these sites:

• http://www.php.net (the thing began as simple HTML preprocessor... )
• http://www.zend.com (a company making the living out of free PHP - a lot of free resources there)
• http://www.apache.org (free http server that runs most of the Web - illustrates the power of Open Source perhaps even better than Linux itself)
• http://www.zope.org (web application server or content management system, depending on your angle - free, of course)
• http://www.possl.org (Open Source version of an enterprise-caliber n-tier web-enabled development tool)
  

These will keep you occupied for months

Have fun!
