what are bothers for?

PHP Freaks is a good site for tutorials and there are 16 free chapters of A Programmer's Introduction to PHP 4.0 available in pdf form at the publishers site.

Hi after reading php tutorial at w3schools I dont know were to go to learn more php I tried to read a php book but it went over my head. I only have a high school education and I learn slowly. But I want to be able to create unique scripts to bring visitors to my forum.

I am currently learning PHP as well. I think that the PHP book by the learn visually people is actually a great way to get started. It will all go over your head until you read it a million times and see real world examples though. Also, if you can find an easy programming language like Flash Actionscript or Proce55ing to learn, you'll realize that a lot of what you learned carries over and stuff will be a lot more logical. Also, try going to sites that have like PHP snippets and tutorials, such as http://www.spoono.com
Good luck to ya, I know it's hard.

http://www.php.net

Read the documentation there. The way I learned was to say "hrmm that would be something cool I could do in php" then I would go to that site, and look for the functions/control statements/etc. that I'd need.

all-webmaster looking for help on another forum to code it.

i think thats gold.

All thats gold doesn't glitter...or something like that

Once you have some basic PHP understanding, I would recommend downloading some easy scripts at http://www.hotscripts.com like basic guestbooks and find out what every line of code does with some help of the php.net documentation

The way I learned PHP was to sign up on the PostNuke team. Back in April '02, I downloaded PostNuke, installed it & started to play with it.

As I already had a pretty good knowledge of Linux, Apache, etc. I decided to give a lil back and help out on the support team. Many of the developers were also helping out on support, and they were happy to answer my pleas for help when it came to PHP.

So, a good way to learn can simply be to learn by example. Download a script, change little bits of it and see how the program reacts. When you see a new function for the first time, just load it up

http://www.php.net/<insert function name here>

To get exactly what it is, how it works, and examples of its use.

Or, try to help out on an existing OpenSource PHP project.

i am against people's first language being PHP.
i say go a full blown strongly typed language like JAVA or one of the C's.

All the code i have ever seen for people that start PHP looks like *plum*, runs like *plum*, and is documented like *plum*.

Plus, it'll be *way* harder to go from php to C++ then from C++ to php.

That is your own personal opinion and I respect that, but I have created zillions of great programs in PHP and they all run perfectly fine. If you aren't into writing nonweb based apps then PHP is perfect, and if you can't realize that each programming/script/mark-up language is different then you should only stick to one, because no matter how hard you try, if you think everything will work the same, it *will* be hard.

And please watch your language.
