Learning PHP

BlackroseDigitalDesigns

I am about to embark on a contract that will be highly focused on PHP. Can anyone point me in the right direction where a beginner can learn about php. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Biginner in php, can satisfy his knowledge requirement simply by web search.

Search with key words... php tutorials for beginner in Google, your will end up with lots of
tutorial sites with lots of working examples..... i too have started my php study like that.

What is your way of study?

I wonder if there's a Chinese version of PHP Tutorial? I can hardly understand such technical words in English.

Hey guys,

Thanks a lot for all the links here to learn PHP....especially to Faraz and flyfamilyguy.

Do I have to really understand HTML and XHTML first before I can learn PHP? It's not that I do not know anything about HTML, it's just that I don't actually memorize all the commands.

Thanks again folks!

Well, joharin.

It's not necessary understand HTML and XHTML but desireable. And about learning PHP, I recommend a book from Dummies series (PHP and MySQL for Dummies). Internet has a lot of documentation, but almost all scripts are commentless and you only will learn one way to solve a problem, you wont learn the right way.

Bye.

Please read some basic books or ebook in the beginning. After that try to program some easy programs with the help of internet. There are many scripot on the net for beginnires to adwance php users.

Why not download some free webpage templates, and layouts. This way, you can play around with the html, and css in order to get a good understanding of how things work.

there's a lot of ways for you to learn php!
im not that good in php but i can say that i understand the basics of php.
internet tutorials are available. w3schools offers a wide variety of basic php syntax and example codes.

start from the basic and traditional, "hello world" from that on, step by step procedure shall be followed
for you to creating a php file.

I've tried Joomla which apparently uses php but I'm confused. Looks like a good program tho.

A pretty good and in-depth tutorial is covered here:
http://hudzilla.org/phpwiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
That's how I learned and I highly recommend it.

I would love to learn PHP..!! Actually a year before i knew nothing about PHP or what it is...!! Then i started concentrating on phpbb forums and mods..Like that i came into contact with these scripts and s...!!

Even now i don't know much in PHP and i had got many help about PHP related matters from many fellow frihosters..!! I look forward in learning and working on PHP soon...!!

curious, why are you contracting services that aren't existent? if you don't know php, don't advertise that you do.

robinhanks

if you master c, you would be quick to learn it.
if you don't, you have a long way to go.
wish you what you want would become true
