racer123 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Alright well let me start off with this. I am high school student and I am designing a web page for my dad's business so it needs to look professional. I know pretty much basic html but I think I want to make the business webpage .php! Now you can take a look at the website that I have a created as of yet. www.fypcshop.com it looks nice and all but I don't know how to get it to "code" correctly. Most of the stuff are just images and I can't seem to get the hang of making the template completely editable. Alright so here is where I need help I have a really nice template that I want to work with as you can see on the webpage that I had mentioned above. I want to be able to completely code the webpage with I guess .php ? Is that the best way to go? I do have dreamweaver and all the programs necessary to edit/code webpages I just need the knowledge to do so. Whats the best way to get started with this project? Any nice tutorials? I would really appreciate any help at this point. If you need any additional information let me know seems like i just typed random stuff that popped into my head.

The flash was sort of there I just made it better and edited it. Is there maybe a way to learn this coding without having to buy the book right now? I mean so I can just start simple with this and when it gets more advanced by the book? Any like "must read" tutorials out there? And what is the best way on going about this project.

redarrow Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Your web site is nice But i think you should of used good old html/xhtml and css. At the moment your using flash and users have to install mecromedia player so in my opnion that a no, but i like the web site. also your load speed is to slow ok. now for php tutorals there meny on this web site but here a proper php learning link. http://www.hudzilla.org/php/ if u dont want to be a programmer then use the freelance page on this forum good luck. WARNING IF GOING TO LEARN PHP USE GOOD OLD NOTE PAD THEN MOVE TO A PROPER PHP EDITOR Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/62718-new-to-php-need-major-help/#findComment-312190 Share on other sites More sharing options...

weemikey Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 You're not going to like this answer, but as others have pointed out you really have to do some learnin'. If you don't know anything about programming you need to scale back completely and make what I call a 'grey' site. It functions, but doesn't look pretty. That's how I tend to work. Make something ugly and functional, then pretty it up. So that said, I did all of my php learnin' on the web over the last few months. This forum is really great, but it helps to have a specific question. No one really wants to explain how to build a php site.
