try something, and if it does not work, post what you have so far, and
explain what you where trying to do

someone may help you in the right direction, some others will just give
the (in their eyes) correct answer...

but anyway reading here will help you a lot if you read more than you
own postings ;-)

news:gufia5-1km.ln1@a62-251-88-195.adsl.xs4all.nl...php.net is an awful resource, especially for beginners. I don't understand
why people are always recommending it!

Best bet is to buy a PHP book or rent one from the library.

Or perhaps its a verb. I'm begginer not to be confused with beggin'
there.

But Paul's advice is sound. The PHP web site is a good resource.

was gently guided into it. Secondly, 8 years later, it is still the
first resource I look to and is often in the top ten of most SERP.

However, I agree that they are NOT 100% helpful in all search for
helps, but show me a php developer's resource site that does and I'll
stick with the 98% site until then.

JMO,

re: Real begginer

I know about php.net, but can you recommend me any book? I dont enjoy
reading a manual when I dont know what do what ;)

Don't forget www.killerphp.com if you enjoy learning via video.

news:31b69581-d8dd-44e3-a54a-23da383861da@x30g2000hsd.googlegroups.com...I highly recommend "PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Websites" by Larry Ullman
(most recent edition, I think 2d). It's a beginner text. If you just read
that, don't skip stuff and work through all the code, you will be well on
your way.

Ullman is terrific. Unlike 90+% of the programming books, he is scrupulous
about testing code, so the code actually works. And if a mistake slips in,
he has an active errata sheet. He also has a website where you can download
scripts, css and images, with a forum he actually looks at and answers
questions.

The one weak part is the introductory MySQL material. I found it extremely
hard, i.e. impossible, to follow. But you can get the basics you need from
online tutorials. MySQL basics -- enough for an intermediate PHP coder --
are a piece of cake, especially if you have a graphic interface like
PhpMyAdmin, and you will almost certainly want to learn basic MySQL.

(The book goes back to "excellent" when he starts talking about combining
PHP and MySQL.)

I concur.

If you want REALLY basic, then try 'Making use of PHP' by Ashok Appu,
published by Wiley. It's a little old now, and doesn't cover PHP5 but
leads you into PHP by examples (Hopefully there's an updated revision
since I bought mine). You will also need, an HTML reference, and as
suggested elsewhere in this thread, a MySQL reference. You'll probably
find yourself needing a javascript book sooner or later too.

As for php.net, I use that for specific functions and ALWAYS look to the
user comments.
