I am wanting to learn how to program and design a dynamic website. I've done a number of static ones with dreamweaver and a few other templates. I now would like to build a membership style website similar to a dating website something like let's say plentyoffish.com but for a different purpose. Would PHP with mysql be able to do this, or am I looking in the wrong direction? Any recommendations?

why not just buy an already available script and then code additional features (if you need more than just what the script has to offer, btw these scripts come packed with features and don't even cost that much)

What i recommend to new people in the PHP world is two sites:
w3schools.com/php/default.asp and of course php.net First one shows the basic stuff while the other one is the manual from PHP guys for PHP. ![]() And also helps to have a guy that you can ask for things that you don't understand. |

I downloaded PHP scripts from HotScripts.com and studied how things were done. It was a great help to be able to run a script, watch it execute and then study the underlying code.

I agree with this. Sometimes it is just best to jump in and start doing in order to learn swiftly. You also get the benefit of learning coding conventions. Plus with hands on learning the knowledge will stick with you better. | |

Install PHP 5 Apache MySQL on Windows : WampServer If you have an old computer that you can spare consider loading Ubuntu Linux on it and setting up your own web server. I use a few of these and find them invaluable, as long as you can spare the hardware and electricity! Otherwise Wampserver will do quite nicely! If it's a membership site you are looking to build you might want to consider Joomla or WordPress configured with the appropriate components or plugins. This way you could get a site up and running in a minimal amount of time. Your PHP and MySQL skills would still come in handy if you wanted to customize the site. Best of luck Bill | ||

Hi, i would say PHP +MySQL is a good choice for web development. You need to learn the basic and syntax of PHP before starting to develop a site that you want. Nowadays there are a lot of RAD framework such as Symfony, Zend, CodeIgniter, CakePHP that can use to build web application faster. I have used Symfony for 2 years and i like it, haha. Anyway, wish you enjoy the programming and do a great web app, cheers!

Or if you really want to learn, use J2EE not php!
Here are some frameworks that might interest you. Hibernate Google Guice Apache Wicket And Tomcat is fine for this. |
