I am really lost and would need to start at the very beginning I already know and understand html -- I'm not sure of any sites, but there's plenty of books. I started with the SAMs Teach Yourself PHP4 book (which may be dated now, who knows) and then switched to a more robust book after getting the language basics (I think the SAMs series are great for getting a cursory look at a language if you're completely fresh). PHP certainly has a TON of books available though - poke around Amazon or a local bookstore. -M -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] step by step learning
hey paul, php is not like html. HTML is a markup language and PHP is a scripting languange. Once you get through installing PHP, it is not like HTML where you start with the basic tags and learn them one by one. PHP has functions and you need to know which funcitons you need for the right job. I would recommend phpfreaks.com. That is where I started and probably a beginners book or a reference book. If you do not have any programming experience, you are best off getting a beginners guide which will explain concepts along with the code. PHP is easy to use, but not quite as easy as HTML and CSS. PHP also has an online manual with examples which is on par with no other manual that I have found (with the exceptionn of maybe MySQL). So looking up functions online on their site is also a good starting place. jzf Paul Kain wrote: Hi there are there any sites online that show one how to learn php in a step by step fashion?
