How to learn PHP ?

Hi all,
I want to learn PHP, but i don't understand how to start.
Plz help me.

I learned some languages like :
C, C++ & HTML


Thanks.

 

search for good pdf ebooks on net

you will need to install apache on your system

Or you can use WAMP on windows

there is a website w3school they have nice tutorials easy to follow on php

Regards

Alex

 

C and C ++ is closed to php
HTML will help you a lot in page design

I will recommend you to find some visual trainign courses

 

Read this book >> ( Teach Yourself PHP in 10 Minutes ) >> www.samspublishing.com ​

 

if you want on my site i answer php questions , you can ask and a group of php people will be ready to answer them .

php tutorials

 

WROX book is good. Read it. Very easy written of the book. Just install wamp server in your computer. Then read book. I suggest you to read only book for few days by chapter to chapter without practicing them on computer. Try to understand every page and move to next when you finish them. Dreamwaver 8 is much helpful for writing PHP script.

 

Here we go ..
Try to find out - what, why and how ..

<?php
$myVar = "user";
if($myVar == "user") {
session_start();
$_SESSION['user'] = $myVar;
}
?>

PHP:

What I want to say is that you need to take a few examples and learn from them ..

 

To learn Php

a)Install XAMPP on your system
b)download manual from php.net or you can search through function list

it's just like C and C++ only the functionnames differ here

E.g strlen() for length of string

 

I've been an ASP.NET developer I knew nothing about PHP. I started learning PHP few months ago, now I can do it well. so believe me if you know programming its not hard to learn PHP.

 

I would start by following some basic tutorials. They are just a google away

Then I would go to www.php.net and start looking at the functions and try to make a few of your own small scripts.

If you know languages like C++ you will find PHP easy.

 

Install Apache, PHP, and then read PHP manual.
Some useful sites: php.net and w3schools.com

 

Sorry...

But do you people even bother to search before you make such threads? This has been asked hundreds of times, and in the past fortnight I wouldn't be surprised it it was done 5 times.

 

Best way to learn coding is to do coding.
