b0gner17 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hey guys I am new with php and I know html, xhtml and a good bit of css. I think now I am ready to progress and learn php. I have messed around with it using snippets and other simple functions eg. include function etc. I really want to get stuck into it and learn. Can you guys give me a few areas to start and where's the best place for a beginner like me to learn.

The Little Guy Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 In my opinion the best way to learn PHP, is to choose an idea for a site you would like to make that would have dynamic ability. Once you have something chosen, then start to build it. I have never found tutorials super fun, or found them to make PHPing easier. This is why I feel that choosing a topic of choice will help increase you PHP skills faster, and probably make PHPing easier.

Also if you want small stuff go to the php freelance and see what people are looking for and try to do those projects for yourself.
