PHP Help.

Hello, i am a real newbie to PHP. I want to be able to make Staff Panels for websites etc but really dont have a clue where to start. Could you guide me to good guides or help me out?

Thankyou

Matt

 

Most of the panels are just a pretty front-end for the database of the site which stores all the content and settings. But it can be file based as well. I don't think that there are any specific guides for this sort of thing though. So your best bet would be to learn basic php/mysql interaction and then some file manipulation if the sites use file based storage.

 

Thanks, i would also like basic tutorials to build up my PHP knowledge.

Thanks

Matt

 

Here is one:

The php manual is also very helpful.

 

I definitely agree w/ this

 

Thanks alot, i have learned forms upto now. If i had this as the code:

Name: <?php echo $_POST["name"]?>
Last Name: Name: <?php echo $_POST["lastname"]?>

How would i get so if more than one person sent in this information it would display one after the other below the one above.

Thanks alot.

You have to have a loop either while or for, its your choice. The data $_POST['*'] comes from your HTML form, so depending on how many elements you have in that form, you have to update your php code based on this. For eg. if you had textbox1, textbox2....textboxn

Your code could be like

I hope this gives you basic idea and I answered your question or I am totally off the hook here!!
