papaface Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 PHP are different kinds of language. You NEED to learn HTML before PHP as HTML is one of the most basic languages on the web. Only once you have learned that would I recommend you move on to PHP. You can go on to PHP now, but I wouldnt recommend it because HTML and PHP work together in certain situations.

btherl Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 To add to that, when they say "php is better than html", they are talking about php as an extension of html. If you want to develop websites, you will need to learn both html and php.

mainewoods Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Php is used to conditionally output HTML using loops and ifs based on info gathered from DBs, server files, or web forms. A php page is a mixture of php code and HTML code intertwined. It's not php instead of html, it's php plus html instead of html. And don't forget CSS. So the real choice is HTML+CSS or PHP+HTML+CSS! And if you want to go javascript, javascript requires: Javascript+DOM+HTML+CSS. And there's that HTML+CSS again.

Grassy Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 ok but it would be good if you could still give me some links on where i can find the php programs... Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/37087-help/#findComment-177209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLewis Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 wamp server is good to run php files on your computer. www.wampserver.com some good tutorial sites, for learning most languages visit this: www.w3schools.com that site is a great resource for html, css and javascript mainly. php tutorials check out the phpfreaks main site or browse tutorial sites like www.pixel2life.com But as the others said, get the basics of html before you begin something else. If you have already started then you may as well get the rest before you move on. Best of luck with your future web development!
