I have learnt php and MySQL Server of my own back in my spare time. Believe it or not this coming from a teen may sound odd but I want to do the best I can in ict so I am always dedicated to learning, and wont give up.

Thanks for that, sounds like something which I might consider. I am thinking about going to the Warwickshire college to do computing A-Level, but it seems a bit too far to travel tbh.

Still though, I've gotta get through another year of GCSEs
