Clandestinex337 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 So I know the basics of PHP and how to semi get around and what not, but I want to get really hardcore into PHP. But I don't know where to start. Just start doing random tuts over and over? Like I want to create something, but the only thing I can think of really that I can use is a news system. Any help to get me started would be great. (I know this is probably going to be an easy thread to respond to "Just do tuts", but just in case some people have something more to input that they think would help me out) Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/64345-want-to-start-getting-hardcore-into-php/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Hey, chances are you'll probably want to head into Object Oriented Programming with PHP and PHP5. http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/140/0.php - this is a tutorial for OOP in PHP4, personally, I think the migration from PHP4 to 5 was pretty fluid, so this would probably make a good starting point. But I had a pretty strong background in other OOP languages by the time PHP5 came around, so my case may be different. If PHP is your first language and you've had no prior exposure to OOP, then baby-steps, start from OOP in PHP4 and gradually work up to PHP5. I haven't personally read that tutorial myself, but if anything, my belief is this is the way to go.

Fadion Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 As previosly said, OOP may be a next step. Also consider security, regex and maybe having some basic knowledge of using premade php extensions and clasess. Ure telling that the only thing u can think is a news system, which actually isnt the most hardcore system in the world. U could create a forum, an image gallery, a cms and lots more, which could give u a strong knowledge of database design, images and articles manipulation. If u succed on creating such systems, u can expand those in term of security and create things with objects in mind. But its all up to you, your perspective of programming and your knowledge. Deciding what your next step will be isnt very hard, as u have so many things to learn that ull have no pause Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/64345-want-to-start-getting-hardcore-into-php/#findComment-320857 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Really, untill you actually start building applications, tutorials aren't going to cut it. Practice makes perfect.

teng84 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 we can say that we are all programmer but we cant say who is good unless we see each others code. good programming for me is that when you can have your code short and readable and reasonable theres no actually hardcore programming but theres a neath and standard programming which every one should always think of... programming is like database structuring were in you have to normalize your db same as coding should be normalize(IMO) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/64345-want-to-start-getting-hardcore-into-php/#findComment-320863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
