I got a C in A-Level Computing and I've heard of PHP before, can I be cyber correspondent now?

But, but, anyone who's browsed the internet for a mere few days would have come across a website error page listing a PHP error. It's so common! A real journo would think, hmm, what is this stuff?

Would they? Like what? Give me some examples. I have used the internet everyday. I can't think when I saw a php error. Unless the site is in some kind of debug mode, it is unlikely to be shown.

I frankly don't believe you're saying this. PHP and wordpress are basically entry level website authoring. Democratised the internet. A simple database error (easily done by an amateur) can cause a PHP error page. I'm sorry for you that you've only restricted yourself to corporate sites
