very very basic to PHP

I want to learn PHP, i know only HTML but i want to learn PHP, pls give star up idea and tips to learn php quick.

 

Search Google for free PHP lessons. You'll find lot of material available including video training, which is more useful to learn. So, all the best for you.

 

You can download Lynda tutorial for free using torrent search.

 

visit w3schools, any a lot of material for learn php, from beginner until expert.
Goodluck

 

You can start by reading some books (plenty ebooks too are available), google for tutorials and refer to the PHP manual (best resource).

 

W3Schools is best....

 

i can also suggest W3 school only w3schools. its very user interactive make the code as easy and learn by using try it yourself option.

 

w3 school is really great. Try it out.

 

It is not posssible to learn PHP quickly , it needs good attention of a learner.
Anyway you can join classes of PHP from an expert in your area, which i think better.
If you want online learning then w3schools is best.
Best of luck!

 

I think practice is the best teacher. Put yourself targets, for example create a login/register form, find example code, try to change it. Then next target, etc.

 

Id start with w3schools (as others have said) and then after you have completed that I would look into http://www.lynda.com/PHP-tutorials/php-with-mysql-essential-training/435-2.html

 

Hi to community.
Seems to be my first post here.
I would suggest phpacademy channel on youtube.
I learned so many php coding there.

Regards,

 

I would get some PHP code and try editing it and seeing what you can do. It will help you learn good practices (from seeing what other people have done) and actually coding is the only way to actually learn a language

 

as people have said - w3schools will definitely get you started pretty quickly...

 

I would recommend http://tizag.com, their tutorials are very easy to follow.

 

Learn PHP quick? If you're a programmer, open the manual and start programming. PHP syntax is pretty simple.

If you're not a programmer, you have 2 choices:

1) Learn PHP using PHP tutorials. You won't have any idea about how to write code to accomplish anything, but you'll think you know all you need. Books like "Learn PHP in 21 Days" will teach you everything you don't want to learn, quickly.

2) Learn programming. In about 6 months of serious study, you'll be a beginner. Then you'll be able to open the PHP manual and you'll be able to write PHP code to do what you want - as long as what you want is pretty simple.

How long does it take to be a good PHP programmer? I've been doing it about 10 years, and I still learn new techniques all the time. I've been programming for almost 40 years, and I still learn new things all the time. No one ever learns all there is to know about programming. If you're not planning on learning new things all the time, programming isn't for you. (And web development is just a form of computer programming.)

 

I was able to write efficient PHP day 1. In fact, I only needed a reference and the PHP.net web site as a guide. I have a back ground in Perl and Java.

 

I was able to write my first complete program two weeks after I finished my PHP book. Not the most complicated thing, but it inserted customer info into a database, sent out confirmation emails to multiple recipients and generated reports. It's all about how badly you want to learn PHP.

 

Any book like "Learn PHP in 2 weeks" + manual + a lot of practice. PHP syntax is pretty simple, but make sure your code is readable for other

 

Write a lot of comments in your code when you start, too. It helps you out more than anything else.
