phpSensei Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 You could start with some tutorials: http://www.tizag.com/phpT/ or read a php book, a favorite of mine is Sam's Teach Yourself PHP in 24 hours, its quite old, I read it 4-5 years ago but I am sure there are newer editions of the book.

crmamx Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I would suggest starting with the tutorial at W3Schools simply because it provides a "Try It Yourself Editor." A lot more learning takes place when you "DO" something after you read about it. And you can play with the code in real time to see what will happen. It is the only editor of this type on line that I know about. http://www.w3schools.com/ However, once you get your feet on the ground, abandon W3Schools and use Tizag as suggested previously or one of the other good tutorials. W3Schools has some deficiencies but I think the value of the Editor outweighs them for a beginner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j.smith1981 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I wanted to try and remember various things I had learnt off those sites and their really good. But what I found and I keep going back to (less and less now) is the Zend one Down the Rabbit Hole set of tutorials. Has a load of user replies too, for each section: http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/625 It's just a beginners tutorial in PHP, not to do with the actual Framework, just basic PHP but does touch on some of the more advanced things like Regular Expressions and things like that. I thought it was a really good series! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
