AB is a lot simpler than PHPBB/Vbulletin( while diving into code and screwing around is a great way to learn, you should start with something simpler and cleaner. And a reference book on PHP/MySQL (your local library might actually have a few on PHP and other languages as well... mine does.) would be very helpful in explaining things you can't figure out by editing. A printed tutorial could also suffice. I dunno, I just learned better at first that way. Now I dive into code (usually with c/c++) and figure out what things do by fooling around. It all depends on your initial learning style. Once you get the basics down, I find editing other code is a great way to learn. darkwitch |

Posts: 118/145 Doing small changes in VBB is how I got started with PHP, 6 years ago ... I learned it fast too, and some MySQL at the same time
| Other board systems might be coded and structured differently, but as long as they still use PHP, you'll probably be learning just as well Randy53215 |
Posts: 614/726 I believe some of those have comment tags, which will help you understand more...
| IE:
Reading code and its comments will help you understand what that function/code is doing. niteice |
Posts: 33/45 There's nothing wrong with playing with the code. You will learn about PHP, which can be transferred to another package, even if the exact code can't be. | xellpn |
Posts: 5/7 il say sorry now for the idiotic post now, just in hand.
| Im learning, well figuring out php based off hand of expermenting and playing around, would playing or chaning code on other forum code like Vbullitien, phpbb, invision, worth my time? since i know its all php, but is there a diffrent barrer sorrounding each version, aka since there all named diffrently. I dont really want to get a diffrent pack and learn how each one reacts diffrently to diffrent code and then find out, what ive lernt, is worthless. thanks in advance |
