karldesign Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hi all, I am about to take on my final year project at University and am looking into using PHP 5... Well the options are PHP 5 or ASP.NET, and I know full well I'll be taking the PHP route! Can anyone recommend any possible online resources for help/examples/principles of this version of PHP. Any support in OOP would also be ideal! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 PHP isn't really version specific. While there are a few changes between 4-5, nothing really worth worrying too much about. There are however quite a few new features in the oop area. As per usual, the man is probably your best bet and specifically the oop5 section may help. I'm assuming your already familiar with php? There is a good free book in my signiture if your not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$username Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 The best way to do the project is to define what you want done plane out the way and features that you are going to use. Then from there start the code. the manual is one why to do it but others are researching this form for different ideas. Here are some of the spots I like to hit up. http://www.PHPfreaks.com http://forums.mysql.com/ http://php.net Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterACE14 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I personally like http://www.w3schools.com/php/ for their straight forward approach and examples, they do briefly explain most things in PHP so if you need more info on the subject, then I suggest heading over to www.php.net If your able to afford books, a quick and easy way to learn PHP is reading the following books: PHP 5 in easy steps(easy to understand, in color, examples for every step) - www.ineasysteps.com Sams PHP 5 UNLEASHED(covers a hell of alot more) - http://www.informit.com/imprint/index.aspx?st=61091&rl=1 Sams Teach yourself PHP in 24 hours(great if you want to learn PHP and memorise everything within a week) - http://www.informit.com/imprint/index.aspx?st=61091&rl=1 thats just to name a few.

karldesign Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Sams Teach yourself PHP in 24 hours (great if you want to learn PHP and memorise everything within a week) Teach yourself PHP in 24 hours but takes a week to learn lol... I'll give you a brief idea of what I want to do: A free web directory of companies with an events calendar. I suppose I should just break it up into sections as normal, but using OOP techniques...

hungryOrb Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hopping from <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp">w3c</a> and <a href="http://www.tizag.com/phpT/index.php">tizag.com</a> seemed to fill in the minor details for me.

karldesign Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Well, with regards to the later links, I am already able with PHP, but not using OOP techniques in development. I guess there are advantages to this approach, I'm just currently unaware of these... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
