ThanksI want to learn php - but whats the best book/guide out there for a complete beginner to takes you by the hand
';Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs'; by Wirth (Amazon - usually under $5, but worth $5,000). That'll teach you programming. If you don't know programming, all the languages in the world won't do you any good. If you know programming, the PHP manual (you get it in the download) and a few sample programs are all you really need.I want to learn php - but whats the best book/guide out there for a complete beginner to takes you by the hand
Go to http://us2.php.net/manual/en/getting-sta…
for an awesome PHP tutorial! It is from the makers of PHP themselves
the simplest php website would be an html website with all the html extensions changed to php, including all the navigation links of course.
Simple I know but I didn't know it once. I won't mention a book as I don't know much php, I just learn by messing with it and seeying if it works or not, same with css and html. Get xampp, it'll allow you to run php sites on your pc so you can also have mysql and phpmyadmin, lots of messing to do, it's easier that way as you don't have to wait for distant servers to load and phpmyadmin is more complete than what you usually get from hosting places.
If you are new to programming try something like:
PHP for the World Wide Web: Visual Quickstart Guide (Visual QuickStart Guides)
This is part of a good range of books for getting into new technologies.
Once you get into programming make use of php.net as a reference guide, it has detailed info about every function and feature available in PHP.
Well, when I learned php, I felt that w3schools.com was the easiest to understand. It will take some time to learn, but practice makes perfect.
