    Hey lads, just need a quick hand! Im writing a thesis at the moment, on the last section of it, but its due in the morning so i haven't really slept in a while...

    anyway i was about to write down a word for something, when it completely slipped my mind! checked thesaurus.com and everything.

    Was saying how PHP is .....and the word is meant to mean "able to do lots of different things" like a utility man in football. jack of all trades type thing..Help, im going nuts!

    Alt: versatile, adaptable, adjustable, extensible... *Not quite what you asked


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,935 ✭✭✭✭~Rebel~


    Versatile is the word i was actually looking for now that i see it.


    Thanks very much lads and lassies, be proud you've stopped me having a breakdown.



    <edit>
    Come to think of it, this thread could even be kept for when people are going nuts trying to think of "That Word" that just won't come.

    Or else it could just die a quick and painless death. Let the masses decide!
