[PHP] Re: ULTIMATE TUTORIAL? (where)
There has to be an ultimate php tutorial out there which goes from start to finish being easy on the brain. if someone finds a tutorial this good, i may be forced to post less on this list. and i wouldnt like that Try the WebMonkey and the DevShed ones, I think... Or just try the first three pages of each tutorial you can find, and follow all the way through the first one that makes sense to you. To a large extent, it depends on what you want to *DO* with PHP. MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MS-SQL, or all of the above? Do you need GD? How about high-precision mathematics with BC_MATH? Super-fast but low-featured database action? LDAP is your buddy. Need to retrieve Email and News in a web page? Find a PHP/IMAP HowTo. There can't be an ultimate PHP tutorial from start to finish because, like, unless you actually need LDAP or YP or HyperWave or any of the other rather esoteric extensions there's not much point in forcing them into a tutorial. You'd be looking at an encyclopedia before you were done with every extension. Hell, by the time somebody wrote the damn thing, somebody else will have come up with another extension. -- WARNING [EMAIL PROTECTED] address is an endangered species -- Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wanna help me out?

Hi Kyle, Yes, one such ultimate tutorial exists, it's called the PHP Manual. It's large and nice and contains many examples and user comments. If you find it scary, try out some less ultimate tutorials first. Go through the tutorials on devshed.com phpbuilder.com zend.com and related places, spend some time. No tutorial exists that'll make it immediatly click, you're going to have to spend some time on this, quality time. You will encounter scrapes, bruises, and bloody noses on the way and when that happens, php-general is here for you. I posted some lengthy rambling posts in the past on this topic (please don't laugh), here's one perhaps it'll help your quest for PHP stardom : http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-generalm=97321033617984w=2 Regards, Philip Kyle Smith wrote: There has to be an ultimate php tutorial out there which goes from start to finish being easy on the brain. if someone finds a tutorial this good, i may be forced to post less on this list. and i wouldnt like that -lk6- http://www.StupeedStudios.f2s.com Home of the burning lego man!
