@NogDogMay 06.2005 — #Do you have any programming experience in other languages? If not, I strongly recommend some classes/training in programming, whether it be in PHP, C++, Perl, Java, whatever. They all have common concepts (if/else logic, loops, arrays, I/O, etc.) that transfer more or less to all other programming languages.
If you already have some experience in programming, then php.net is as good a resource as any. The on-line manual is pretty good and has a lot of often-useful user comments, as well. There is even a simple tutorial there athttp://us3.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.php .@NogDogMay 06.2005 — #
Just to be pedantic about it, :rolleyes: HTML is not programming, it's semantic markup of text. When you get into PHP (or ASP, or Cold Fusion, etc.) you are then entering the world of programming, and all the complexities and opportunities that provides.
I am in no way trying to discourage you. I applaud your quest to improve your web-site-building skills. I just think that jumping into a few PHP tutorials will not give you all the skills/tools that are available for working with PHP. If nothing else, spend $10 on a used copy of [i]PHP and MySQL for Dummies[/i] to make sure you get started off on the right foot.
Good luck, and have fun!
