Hello PHP guys, I'm starting on a few new projects, fairly larger sites from scratch. Lots of user-submitted content etc. Now I'm not a developer, but I do my own design and css. My question is: What is the best way to start a project for a PHP guy? Is is best to code up all the front end, linking everything together with comments on each page with the instructions of what should be accomplished? Any advice from you developers would be great! -b
Ah, not sure what you're asking here, but if you're talking about how to dive into the whole process, I would always recommend getting the database layout set up first. Then, if you use OOP, create your classes to interface with the database tables. Then, create each individual page you need for the front-end.
i would agree. Back end first, then layout the epidermal. no point in making the skin before the bones. You will piss yourself off.
i want to farm out the php, so are you saying just give the developer a flowchart? no basic website? i understand adding graphics dead last for sure thanks for the input folks!
