indyonline Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Hello all. I'm new to php and I can not figure it out. I just purchased some php scripts that I got cheap and was hoping I could figure it out. Does any body have some helpful tips for a new guy. Thanks in advance-Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHP_PhREEEk Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Well, assuming you have already printed "Hello World!", the very next step is to have a 'need' for something that PHP can accomplish. Then you need to map out some simple logic to get that 'need' accomplished. Then you can start trying some things to get there. Then you will have questions. Then you will post those questions. Then we will answer. = D PhREEEk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbingman Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 wow thats a very long explaination. just google php search tutorials... its quite a big feat to get there if you just started but if you go through some tutorials you can figure it out. you will most likely need to incorporate mysql too... which is another big function....

indyonline Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Thank you for the suggestions. Is php similar to javascipt, where you create like a search box for your page that search's the Mysql database to show results? I have recipe Databases and I want a page that searches and a page that shows results or both on the same page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbingman Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 It has the same code base and syntax almost, except javascript is a client-side script which means it doesn't go through a server first like PHP, which is server-side. So they have different functionality. You can't use databases and things like that with javascript only PHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
