sandrob57 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I want to learn to make a map use PHP. I know nothing about using GD scripts, but I know a lot about PHP/MYSQL. I am sure I could learn. I would be a simple grid, where you can plot your location. IE 156y 321x would be one location. You get the idea. Anyway, where are some good tips/tutorials. And what exactly am I learning. Is it GD Scripting? Any books you recommend? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBS103 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 If you truly want to get into some more advanced "interactive" graphics, I recommend looking at Flash and not so much PHP. But get started with the GD library online and learn some of its limitations (I don't think you will need a full book to get an idea of the functions).
