[PHP] Beginner

Hey everyone!

I'm 'new' to Habbox Forum technificially.. ;l

I have been looking at the Habbox Forum for quite a while now, however, I only just made an account! ;D

Anyway, onto the reason why I started this thread.

I was wondering (to all you PHP master's out their) where you actually learnt PHP?

Would help if anyone could give me any links, websites etc.

I'm no newbie, I know BASIC PHP, and I am quite good in Visual Basic.

As I say, any links, websites etc. would be nice!

Thanks,
James

I recommend try downloading some scripts then any functions you don't know go to php.net and search for it. That's what I'm doing.

Okay, again, thanks.

w3schools.com is good for starters :)

techtuts.com.
The PHP User System or the PHP sections are both good, all you need to do is read the whole thing and then try it out yourself, if it works, then tweet it abit and go on like that, 'tis how I learnt.

*learning

:p

Anyway, look at other scripts see how they work. If you don't understand part of the code use the PHP.net manual. That's how I'm learning (:

To be honest, I don't really learn from reading online tutorials, but thanks anyway.

Just don't go searching custom functions :)

Erm.. Search a custom function?

Wouldn't a custom function be one you made so it wouldn't be on the web?

Is this what your trying to get at?

Yup, since if you're looking at scripts and you're searching functions it won't show up :P

Wouldn't some functions be built in?

People can make custom functions: http://w3schools.com/php/php_functions.asp.

Okay.

I was wondering..

Notepad++
Link

Phpdesigner :)

Yes, but too learn it fully I would recommend something like Notepad++ or PHPDesigner, since Dreamweaver is overpriced and the only one out of those 2 that costs is PHPDesigner ;)

I was wondering..

When you guys code something, do you just look at php.net for some things to type instead of just doing the whole thing from memory?

I guess you do a lot from memory?

Yes, but when we encounter something we dont know, well I, I usually go to PHP.net for reference.

Yeh, thought so..

I'm currently working on the TechTuts user system, it's helped me a lot by just looking and typing the code.

I suppose looking and writing down is the best way to learn and remember!

I'll just make something and rewrite it once a week ;P

Oh, that would be fun. ;l

Erm.. Can't remember preschool ! ;P:P

I never read tutorials.

Just look over some already made scripts, change things around.. check how functions work.. ones you don't understand you can post on here or look on PHP.net :)

I'm sure all of us will help you where needed ;) just give us a buzz.
