No questions asked,&#8221; said Principal Clyde Thurlow. \u00a0 &#8220;We&#8217;re             not quite sure what PHP is, but we suspect it may be a derivative             of PCP, or maybe a new designer drug like GHB.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bbspot.com\/Images\/News_Features\/2000\/6\/php_logo.gif\" alt=\"php_logo\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"10\" width=\"130\" height=\"67\" align=\"left\" \/>Parents are frightened by the discovery of this new menace in their             children&#8217;s school, and are demanding the school do something.\u00a0 &#8220;We             heard that he found out about PHP at school on the internet.\u00a0 There             may even be a PHP web ring operating on school grounds,&#8221; said             irate parent Carol Blessing.\u00a0 &#8220;School is supposed to be             teaching our kids how to read and write.\u00a0 Not about dangerous             drugs like PHP.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In response to parental demands the school has reconfigured its             internet WatchDog software to block access to all internet sites             mentioning PHP.\u00a0 Officials say this should prevent any other             students from falling prey like Brett Tyson did.\u00a0 They have             also stepped up locker searches and brought in drug sniffing dogs.<\/p>\n<p>Interviews with students suggested that\u00a0PHP use is wide spread             around the school, but is particularly concentrated in the geeky             nerd population.\u00a0 When contacted by BBspot.com, Brett Tyson             said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what the hell is going on dude, but this             suspension gives me more time for fraggin&#8217;.\u00a0 Yee haw!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>PHP is a hypertext preprocessor, which sounds very dangerous.\u00a0 It             is believed that many users started by using Perl and moved on to             the more powerful PHP.\u00a0 For more information on how to recognize             if your child may be using PHP please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.php.net\/\">http:\/\/www.php.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know this is old, but I have loved it for years.
