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?

My first script ever was my PhP My-Admin. You can download it and take a look:

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:

PHP 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 Code:


<?php
echo="LOLZ"
?>

www.php.net

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.
