trq Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Buy a book. Or better still, read [url=http://www.hudzilla.org/phpbook/]this[/url] from start to finnish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perezf Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 did that but the books all seem to require some knowledge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Well I should imagine you might be out of luck. I mean, Ive been using php for about 3 years and Im still learning... how long do you think this tutoring would go on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SephirGaine Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 A week probably won't get you too far. I've been dealing with PHP (or trying to) for about 2-3 months now, and I'm still getting stumped on the easiest things. For the most part it's been trial by fire for me, however these forums have helped me immensly so far in developing my PHP skills. Look up some basic tutorials, create some basic scripts, and then plan out what you want to do with PHP. Try to do whatever you can by yourself, and if you become hopelessly stuck or confused somewhere, feel free to ask. It's worked thus far for me.. and though I'm still moving my site along at a snail's pace, I'm learning PHP as I go and each time I create a script I get less, and more minor problems because of it.

perezf Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 Im from SW Ranches, FL next to Fort Lauderdale and Davie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hostfreak Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Ah, I am over by Punta Gorda. Well, best thing I can recommend is what other people have already said. Just start making scripts from tutorials, take bits and pieces of different tutorials to make something. If you have trouble, post here for help.

ToonMariner Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I started here about 4 years ago [url=http://www.sitepoint.com/article/getting-started-mysql]http://www.sitepoint.com/article/getting-started-mysql[/url] within a couple of days I was creating, inserting deleting stuff in my database via php scripts and user inouts from forms.The best way to learn is to do things yourself - build on things you have learnt - try to find thinsg in the manual (most have user submitted examples) - ask questions on here.Someone once wrote something like:PHP taught = 1 sitePHP learned = 1,000,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started out very simple and then gradually became fairly fluent with HTML (I'm definatly not an expert)... Then I slowly started messin with PHP... I learned from random tutorials and by trail and error mostly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelb0y Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I Found a good place a while back, these video tutorials are not pro stuff but are excellent to start with. it teaches you the basics so that the books are easier to absorb later....[url=http://3dbuzz.com/vbforum/sv_dl_tr.php]http://3dbuzz.com/vbforum/sv_dl_tr.php[/url]Angel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dual_alliance Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 The best book for someone new to PHP.PHP For Dummies[url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764541668/ref=pd_sim_b_1/102-1286973-8586531?ie=UTF8]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764541668/ref=pd_sim_b_1/102-1286973-8586531?ie=UTF8[/url]It covers the basics, so when you read tutorials on the net you know what the script is doing.dual_alliance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
