silverglade Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hi, I want to learn doing incrementally more difficult tasks in php, because I tried to start with an image gallery with users, and that is too complicated. I was wondering if anyone knows how i can teach myself in little projects that get harder as I go along. I don't even really know what php can do, so I don't know where to start. Even like something like creating a table, then the next task would be to use ORDER BY, etc. something like that, until I have become better and can handle something like an image gallery without using a tutorial. Any advice greatly appreciated. thank you.

silverglade Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 thank you cssfreakie, you are right. I decided to go with a good book, and tizag.com and w3schools.com. basically those 3 should be enough. The book I just bought was this. http://www.amazon.com/PHP-MySQL-Web-Development-4th/dp/0672329166/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1310319997&sr=1-1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/241575-doing-incrementally-more-difficult-tasks-in-php/#findComment-1241017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cssfreakie Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 good thing you chose the book, and please drop tigzag and w3schools they suck. A good book is all you need. After that buy a more difficult book. IF this books ends up to be too difficult. A nice one to try is Head first Php mysql of O'reilly. Lots of pictures examples tests and puzzles. After you're done reading the book rehearsal your knowledge at http://www.tuxradar.com/practicalphp Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/241575-doing-incrementally-more-difficult-tasks-in-php/#findComment-1241051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
