The International PHP Magazine has published the results of this past week's poll that asked "Which is truest?" (or "which of the options given about PHP is the most correct).

The International PHP Magazine conducted a poll over the week, asking for your opinion regarding the truest statement. The poll results with the respective percentages are as shown in the screen cast.

Of the options given, only one stood out above the rest - "PHP is Easy to Learn" - definitely a true statement. As far as the rest, they were close, but "PHP code gets embedded in HTML pages" came in second.

Be sure to check out the new poll question for the week - "You Did Not Know That..." (selecting which of the little known facts about PHP you didn't know).

Joshua Eichorn is back today with the answers to the questions as posed by the readers of his blog previously.

Your AJAX answers from my AJAX questions post are below, I hope everyone finds them helpful.

The questions answered include:

• How can I find out whether a connection is broken?
• Why would you want to use HTML_AJAX when there are far better tools for the job, pure javascript solutions such as prototype or jquery?
• What is the best way to 'degrade' a website when Javascript/XMLHttpRequest support is disabled?
• When utilizing an AJAX API such as Google Maps, how do you execute embedded Javascript commands in a page generated on-the-fly?

...as well as a few more. Where appropriate, he also includes code to help illustrate his point.
