Hey

I'm trying to learn php and I need some ideas on what to make so I can practice to get better.

Thanks

Learn the basics first, then make things like a basic status system?
or maybe just a page of text using php.

Lol page of text in php is just an echo. How will that benefit him. Basic status would not be good for begginers.

Start modifying scripts IMHO

Tizag is your best friend.

A basic script that searches google via file_get_contents and displays it.

Search tip when doing it 'php tutorials'

Sorry I had to do that, good place is tizag.com for php.

<?php
// Define the $_GET as a shorter variable.. Personal preference.
$url = $_GET[ 'search' ];

// Check for a parameter, if none, show HTML form to get one.
if( ! $url ) {
    // Simple HTML here.
    echo "Nothing to search.. Enter something below.<br /><br />
    
    <form action=\"\" method=\"get\">
    Search: <input type=\"text\" name=\"search\" /><br />
    <input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"submit\" />
    </form>";
} else {
    // And if there is a parameter..
    
    // Redirect to Google.
    // is being held in the variable "url".
    header( 'Location: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=' . $url );
}
?>

Lawl, sorry ruined that one. Tear apart my script, probably won't help much though.

Excuse the terrible indenting and the brackets being everywhere, rushed it, need to go. Bye, hope the script I posted helps some how.

I'm not a complete beginner at PHP, forgot to add that. I'm just not "good" if you know what I mean.

What do you need to touch up on?

Lawl, that sounded really wrong.

    echo file_get_contents( $googleURL );

else
{
    echo 'You are not searching anything you noob!';    
}
?>

Well I don't really know. I just need a little project to do to make me better.
