And still people ask; type in 'PHP' in any random search engine and you'l be flooded with tenthousands of links leading to PHP tutoring pages.

Anyway, obviously PHP.net is the best.

I typed in PHP on Google and got a bunch of tutorials but I got some random websites that use PHP as well. W3Schools is a nice site. Thanks for the help!

That is where I learned how to do my post layout! After reading the tutorial on tables, I had a new layout (Which is what I am using now). I knew a little HTML, but never learned about tables. Great site! I rate it #1!

For PHP, PHP.net is simply the best; but I know most of you PHP beginners can't get any sense out of it, I don't blame you for that either, and it's not like I could get sense out of it when I just started learning PHP.

W3schools learns you the basics of PHP indeed, but it doesn't go deep, while on PHP.net you can pretty much find explanation of every php function (which proved itself to be very useful to me) in deep details, and more documentation from general things to useful code snippets.

Nevertheless, W3schools IS a great site, I learned most of what I know from it as well, but just don't use it for PHP forever.

PHP.net all the way, altough it IS kind of confusing when you know absolutely NOTHING about PHP. But once you know how functions work, you can find any command in there.

I recommend learning a simple language like C first, doing little console applications and all, just to get the hang of loops, variables, etc... PHP is very much like C, but with annoying $'s everywhere...

You really think fiddling with pointers and allocating memory will give them hope? Noone's ever said you NEED to use everything in PHP at once. Everyone capable of learning loops and variables and if cases are perfectly capable of learning them in PHP as well as C. And since he's wanting to learn PHP, I say he should learn that first. He can always go back and learn C later if he wants to.

Kiwi, I worked a bit with C++ before; after people told me it was a lot like PHP syntax wise I confidently tried it out, however, I noticed no simmiliarities at all.

are you sure about that? I think some of the syntax is identicle to php lets do a little comparison....

C++ if statement

if(blah==yes)
{
cout<<"It seems pretty identicle to PHP";
}

PHP if statement

if(blah==yes)
{
print "It seems pretty identicle to C++";
}

even all the operators are the same.

Loops are pretty much the same as well so I would say that basic php and C++ are pretty much identicle Heck even functions work the same way

Wrath, the concept of statements, variables and functions are pretty much the same in most programming languages. And if(blah==tes) pretty much screws up in both of your examples. And it's not exactly like print and echo are for PHP and C++ only.

PHP Nuke
Acmlm Boards
other forum packages
other PHP Packages.....

I learned almost the same way as Erk... just screwing around with scripts. Mediarchive, to be specific.

I just go to PHP.net for help on stuff I don't fully know.

W3Schools is oriented towards the complete newbie. I'd recommend it for newcomers. (Hey, I learned ASP from it )

messing around with PHP packages is kind of a dual learning experience too

for example.... I learned WAY MORE about Tables than I probably ever wanted to know

when I started messing with Acmlm Boards

and alot more about CSS and Tables than I ever wnated to know when I started teaking Copermine and PHP Nuke
