PHP questions...

Kaiser Sigma · November 15th, 2002

Well in 2 months I'll be on summer vacations and I was planning on learning PHP, so I have the following questions :
* Where can I download it ? (I've heard it's a free program, if not please correct me)
* Where can I find some good tutorials about it ?
I'd really appreciate any answer to those questions...

Download is available at php.net where also the documentation is available.
Tutorials about PHP can be found in the sticky in this forum.

A sticky thread ? oops, haven't noticed it yet... thanks for the tips.

is there an all-on-one-page tutorial for php. Am to lazy to check out every one of those links

i didn't find any when i was looking for one back when i started, but then i just realized it's 98% C ^^ if you've done some programming before, or understand the basics (loops, branches, whatever), all you need it the manual.

nyaa

98 % C ? that sounds good... it'll be easier for me...

I have no expirience in programming whatsoever so I think it will be a little harder for me

jegHegy · November 15th, 2002

programming just takes a bit of logical thinking, and a lot of practice ^_^

Reading other peoples code is also very helpful (note: don't steal it).

If you're new to coding at all, it helps you learn some programming techniques.

Make sure you understand the purpose of the code before you analyze it.

Basically, just like there are multiple ways of doing things in real life, there are several different ways of doing things in programming. Viewing other's code is just a way of seeing how other people do something and possibly learning from it as well.
