R_P Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Because PHP and extension are written in C, I figure thats what I'd better start learning. Anyone have good suggestions on where to get: A. A good (and by good I mean free) editor and/or compiler for C. B. An online tutorial or lessons that would at least get me in the write direction. Already tried a Google search to make sure nothing was glaringly obvious. I've been coding PHP for the last 4 years and have started doing PERL scripts, (with of course some java thrown in there but who hasn't?) figure nows a good time to up the ante! Thanks!

steelmanronald06 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 You dont NEED to learn C to use PHP. In fact, both are pretty different. Trust me, just go straight to PHP. It will save you about two years work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will save you about two years work. obviously if he / she has been writting php for 4 years they realise they dont need to learn C in order to write php? ive just started learning C myself. bought a book, but there are a few good sites around. this should get you started. and there is a nice quick reference here. i had a bit of trouble finding much more + i hate learning by reading my computer monitor. hence the book :-P as for a compiler.... what os are you using? any nix based system should come with the gcc compiler. if your on windows you might try dev-C++ it is a windows compiler and ide. you dont need an ide though, any text editor will do. good luck.
