Thanks Chris this is exactly what I wanted to know.

I've had it a little easy so far, what with using a Linux distro-installer.
But I fear it's stuck it all in there somewhere and not even let on.

>From your reply I now understand that what I currently have is PHP with built
in functions and the GD, MySQL stuff I installed through the package manager.

Then this conference is about the libraries of third parrty functions and
their developement, written in PHP itself. Include librariies, I see now.

Sorry for my slowness, I've got it now.

I'm off to find out what's available, thanks.
