Where to learn PHP?Which site?

I want to learn PHP,and any one can tell me which site has the connent?

 

http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/DEfaULT.asP

 

w3schools is by far the best site to learn php. It will also have the mySQL information there to learn how to use databases and php together. This is where I learned and I consider myself intermediate just from that website.

Link in the post above .... I just wanted to support mwasif's post

 

I also faced this problem sometime back, when I was searching for a good link on web..

I have written my experience over here ...from installing to learning PHP... I suggest you to go through it thoroughly and do let me know your comments.

Hi,

I think php.net is the best

thanks

 

Best way to learn programming language, for you php, just pick up script and try to modify look, what happens when you modify it, discover new things. At php.net you can find good explanation of every php function, including sample of working function.

 

I agree. There is no better place to learn PHP than PHP.net.

http://php.resourceindex.com/Documentation/Examples_and_Tutorials/
http://www.cgi-network.net/

Two good resources to look at.

 

congrats on taking interest in php, with that you'll be on your way to making a website that will be popular as you will have coding skills to take to taht level if can practice enough and stick to it. I suggest
Try starting with a PHP framework like CodeIgniter framework or CakePHP framework.

 

i think google.com is best
example : google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=iXO&q=php+tutorial&btnG=Search

 

w3schools has gotta be one of the best ...

 

For me, php.net has been my school.

 

here is my suggestion on how to learn php:
- try to find an idea on what to develop (not too big but not too small)
- start to develop it...
- once you find something you cant do, do a google search

I learnt php 6 years ago this way and now I'm working for a big company

 

Years ago? PHP 6 ?

Good quality place for PHP programming questions: http://forums.devshed.com/

Also has a fair number of articles: http://www.devshed.com/c/b/PHP/

Another good source for articles: http://www.phpbuilder.com/

The best resource though, is as many have said, php.net

You can learn a bit from the w3schools site, but in all honesty the best possible resource is a good PHP book where all of the information is presented in nice follow along tutorials, etc.

 

php, 6 years ago

 

I know mate, it was a joke, hence the grin

 

I found the O'Reilly book "Programming PHP" to be extremely useful. I also referred to php.net very frequently when I was learning.

 

There is no doubt that php.net is a great resource. I have been referring to it since 2002 . It will be really helpful if you have basic knowledge of php. To get the basic knowledge, you should consider a book or tutorials.

 

http://www.w3schools.com
is where I learned the basics of HTML and CSS, I am still just a beginner but I managed to design some web sites on my computer, I keep starting from scratch and building again just to ensure that I retain it all. I am trying to learn JavaScript but it is still a little above me, I think I am going to switch to php.
