sarah31 Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 i recommend the book PHP For the World Wide Web by Larry Ullman Second Edition from Peachpit press. http://www.dmcinsights.com/bk_pages/books.php?i=php i have been using it it is really helpful (and inexpensive). you could also use the php manual found at the php home site.

armondf Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 One of the best ways to get into it is starting with online tutorials that teach you the basics, show you how to use variables, mixing HTML and PHP, etc etc. I would suggest any O`Reilly book. And visit PHP (www.php.net) and download the documentation (they have various formats available). The PHP Manual is THE resource for all the hundreds of functions. It will explain how to do virtually eerything, from installing to writing complex code. Regards, Armond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwiftDeath Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Yeah I beleive good languages to learn are (no order) Python, C++, HTML, PHP, JAVA, BASH. Those are the ones I wanna one day all know. Your making a good start because most advanced webpages are written in PHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
