A place to learn PHP?

Recommended Posts

PHP is a great language to start learning with. Not only is it fairly easy to learn, but the information you learn about it will be useful in general understanding of how the web works.

Really, the PHP homepage (http://php.net/) has most everything you need to know to start off with. Also, a Google search will come up with a bunch of great sites. It all depends on what you want to do.

I've wasted about $300 on PHP books all of them mostly want to teach you how to tweak pre-made scripts that come with the book.

Your best bet is to start off with the PHP documentation and build a simple form that passes data to it and displays it on the next page. From there, start messing with database commands for MySQL. Once you master basic data input and SQL input, that's 95% of the work that you do in PHP

Here is a great place to learn any type of coding. http://www.w3schools.com/ and if you want PHP go to http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp It gives you step by step and if you need a tutorial to make a certain script run you can head over to http://www.pixel2life.com/ and they have a bunch of PHP tutorials there that you can use to make something.

I would reccomend: http://www.pixel2life.com/ I have used that site for most of my learning needs including HTML, Photoshop, Imageready, and PHP. Pixel2Life is basically a site that has sources to more tutorials. It will probably help you the most and be the most self explanatory. If that doesn't help you then you are in a bad position because Pixel2Life is probably the best place to look for a beginner. Otherwise I guess you use a site called: https://www.google.de/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=BwkjVKfAD8uH8QfckIGgCQ&gws_rd=ssl :)
