Well, it was back when i was 13 and i used to speak to some game owner daily, he was looking for some more coder's for his site. He told me all about HTML, and i learnt the basics. I didn't seem interested at the time. But HTML popped up again when i was about 14, This is when i went out and learnt HTML through. When speaking to my friend who's been programming for over 20 years now he explained to me about PHP. He told me this was the language used to make big websites. Not just HTML, he also explained a bit about mySQL. So i was determined to prove to him i could make a dynamic website. So i went away and learnt PHP, and made a real basic 2 minute game. After that for some reason i stopped learning and had a break, until i was about 15. My friend introduced me to his website he had created for PHP based games. So i signed up and started to browse over time, I learnt more and more on PHP. Now a couple of years later, I'm here. Im no longer learning anything from his forum, So I've decided to sign up here. So overall i think the real reason why i learn PHP was to prove to my friend I could and the younger generation can.
