Jim-W-1949 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I am newbie to PHP, although I have been reading books on it for some time now. It is totally different from HTML and seems to be more challenging as well. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/302909-good-morning/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 It is indeed more challenging than HTML! HTML is a markup language (hence the 'ML' in the abbreviation), PHP is a server-side programming language. Hopefully you learn something here to help you meet your goals. Welcome to PHPFreaks!

Jim-W-1949 Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Thanks, I will try my best to learn as much as I can. I am retired but I get pretty busy at times doing other things at times, more busy than when I was still working. I do woodworking as a hobby and for some unknown reason I get swamped with small jobs from time to time. Right now I have at least a dozen projects to do, from fixing kid's dressers to repairing a porch for an older couple. I would rather be working on trying to learn PHP, but I hate to turn down jobs like this because it is hard for people to find someone to work on small projects. The people who come to me for help are kind of at their wit's end because I am one of the very few people around here who has all the tools and equipment and who will work on their small projects. Anyway, I am trying to learn PHP and I had intended on taking a course at the local technical college, but they don't have just a course I can take, I have to take a whole program and that includes several courses and leads to a degree. A degree is OK I guess, but I am 67 years old so it won't really do me all that much good. I just want to learn PHP so I can do some things that interest me, not start a new career. But I can't take just a PHP course so I have decided to try and learn, at least the basics, on my own. Whether I can do that or not remains to be seen, but I intend to give it a try and see how far I get.
