Trium918 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 www.php.net The only site/resource you should ever need. I cannot see how you were able to learn from php.net. How do you navigate around that thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corbin Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I would suggest learning the basic PHP syntax from a tutorial, but the logic and function names come mainly with time and lots of looking at references (php.net ;p) a lot at first.

per1os Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I knew syntax mainly from java/javascript/c++/perl. Needless to say php is quite different but that gave me a backbone to it and looking at a few examples on the php.net user contributions I was able to find the syntax needed. http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.php Not to mention that =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 My main problem was finding functions to do what I wanted at first.... Wish I knew C++... ;p lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trium918 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 My main problem was finding functions to do what I wanted at first.... Wish I knew C++... ;p lol I know a little C++, java,Oracle,VB.net,Q-basic,and html/javascript. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronister Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 anon, http://www.google.com/search?q=php+tutorials The first 5 results look pretty good as far as learning goes Also a good straightforward book is "How to do Everything with PHP & MySql" by Vikram Vaswami. It is one I used when first learning PHP. I still refer back to it every now and again. Not that recommend illegal downloads, but torrent searches can produce a vast amount of e-books to learn from.

Sorry, i mean, can you make a site which will collect information from another, and display it on your website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chigley Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Yes that is possible in PHP. <?php $source = file_get_contents("http://www.google.com"); echo $source; // Outputs the content of Google.com ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterACE14 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I highly reccommend the following 2 PHP Tutorials. http://www.tizag.com/phpT/arrays.php http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp Regards ACE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
