I want to start trying PHP.

Could someone name one of the easiest PHP scripts that would be good for beginners?

Also, other then w3schools are there any good PHP tutorial websites?

I've just looked at some explaining, my code so far is very lame.

I'm creating a register themed thing. Im having problems with one code though.

Code:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>

<?php
// retrieve form data
$email = $_POST['email'];
// check entered value and branch
if ($email = @hotmail.com) {
echo 'Sorry, we do not accept @hotmail.com users!';
}
else {
echo "On to the next step....

<form action="username.php" method="post">
Enter desired username: <input name="username" size"20">
</form>";
}

?>

</body>
</html>
The error is: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/habboboa/public_html/wlphp/passemail.php on line 20

Line 20 is the line that has "<form action="username.php" method="post">".

Help appreciated.

PHP.net is a fantastic resource. CHeck out the comments for functions, will save you a lot of time.

http://www.phpbuilder.com and http://www.good-tutorials.com are good also.

That didnt work, no matter what you input for the email it says no @hotmail.com users.
adamFTW

No, that didnt work.

Also, I have the following code, but when the text comes out $username just comes out ast $username.


<?php
// retrieve form data
$username = $_POST['username'];
// check entered value and branch
{
echo 'You have now signed up as $username!';
}
?>

<?php
// retrieve form data
$username = $_POST['username'];
// check entered value and branch
{
echo 'You have now signed up as '.$username.'!';
}
?>

Change the line that says:
if($email = @hotmail.com){
to:
if($email = "@hotmail.com"){

You where missing off the "'s around the email, because you can't put plaintext in if statements if they're not wrapped in "'s.

its:
<?php
// retrieve form data
$username = $_POST['username'];
// check entered value and branch
{
echo "You have now signed up as $username!";
}
?>

Error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/habboboa/public_html/wlphp/new/reg.php on line 48

Does it have to do with the ; or ' or does it have to do with the variable itself?

$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `system` (`username`, `password`, `age`) VALUES ('$username', '$password', '$age'");

Check the lines before incase you've missed an ; out.
adamFTW
07-11-2007, 10:02 PM
The line before is: else { The line before that has a ';'.

You forgot to put the ';' at the end of the echo
