nankoweap Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 depends upon how much you want/need your hand held. this site is an excellent source of information. there's a lot of links to external information, best practices... poke around. and there's always php.net and the manual. and, of course, some books are probably in order. scour everything you can find and dive right in. jason Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/155646-need-php-help/#findComment-819216 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikesta707 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 well, it seems to me like you need to pretty much learn PHP as a whole. I can give you the answer to the specific problem you are asking for, but you won't really understand how to adapt the solution to fit multiple problems. If I were you, instead of trying to start off learning PHP by making a Mafia game type of PHP application, I would visit a few tutorial sites, make some simple applications, and then start on that project. As you learn more and more PHP, you are going to realize that making the kind of think you want to make isn't so simple =/ I would recommend tizag for a starting php tutorial http://tizag.com/phpT/ and there is php.net, which as you will learn, is your friend http://www.php.net another good site is w3schools http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/DEfaULT.asP and here of course =) also, google is your friend too good luck! hope this info helped!

mrMarcus Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_intro.asp there. don't worry about creating functions just yet .. you don't even know how to echo out a 'Hello World' yet .. and with all due respect, forget about creating Mafia IV for now .. learn the basics, 'cause PHP, like any other language (computer or vocal), cannot be picked up overnight .. i can't decide to go to Spain and try and learn Spanish two days before the flight .. same as you can't learn PHP fast enough and efficient enough to develop games just yet.

nankoweap Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Thanks for the urls but i don't know where to start like what functions & stuff do i have to learn? from the list on tizag php tutorials uzzy, start at the beginning. mike posted a good starter's php tutorial. do it and go from there. forget about functions at this point until you've gained a modicum of understanding of how php can be applied to implement your web app. if you just want to peruse functions, go straight to the manual on php.net. jason Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/155646-need-php-help/#findComment-819643 Share on other sites More sharing options...
