php: a novice approach

I spent hours and hours learning some basic Javascript, just so I could make online calculations. [URL=http://www.epourania.com/wallcalc/wallcalc.html]http://www.epourania.com/wallcalc/wallcalc.html[/URL]
I shunned at the idea of trying to learn another language until I was comfortable with Javascript. The code that I had seen for PHP seemed too difficult for me to learn very quickly so I put it off.
After spending hours and hours trying to learn cookies so I could transfer information to another page, with very little luck, I decided to check out PHP, just to see how difficult it is.
Within an hour, I had a working PHP script.
The Lesson I used was from:
[URL=http://us2.php.net/tut.php]http://us2.php.net/tut.php[/URL]
and it went surprisingly smooth.
I took a quick tour of PHP and now I wish I had learned it before working on Javascript. So any of you out there with a desire to learn Scripting, I recommend trying PHP first.

@Bootsman123Sep 18.2004 — I don't know if you can do only notes, but do not forget that Javascript and PHP are two different things. There are alot of things PHP can't do, but Javascript can and alot of things PHP can do, but Javascript can't.

Success!
