PHP tutorial
 

I have already started learning PHP .
Can anyone tell me where to get tutorial for PHP ?

Thnx for your help.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

Use the PHP section of the w3schools.com site.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

Tizag also has a great PHP tutorial section PHP Tutorial - Introduction or you can get their ebook.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

few days ago I've downloaded some tutorials from W3schools.com
Those are really helpful for me. hope it will also help you out.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

Ok I will try soon. But thanks a lot.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

what the above poster said, there tons of free information out there. You could also your google a php forum and read alot of good information there. just weed out the junk.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

I learned from Kevin Yank's SitePoint book lonnng ago, but it's still good :)

Re: PHP tutorial
 

Ok I will check the site.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

It looks like Kevin has a new book on the same subject:
Home - PHP & MySQL: Novice to Ninja, 5th Edition

However, this is the one I learned from:
Amazon.com: Build Your Own Database Driven Web Site Using PHP & MySQL (9780980576818): Kevin Yank: Books

If you have any questions feel free to send me a PM :)

Re: PHP tutorial
 

Go to Lynda.com and get one of the many tutorials. If you'd rather learn by reading, you can try "Learning PHP, MySQL and Javascript" by Nixon from O'Reilly. You can find that on amazon, i think that it costs somewhere around 20-30$. Good luck!

Re: PHP tutorial
 

Thanks dude.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

Has anyone tried the PHP course from Mark Lassof of LearnToProgram.tv?

His courses are video based and he seems to be a good trainer.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

Ok I will try to find out.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

That's where I am learning too. He's just written a new one (PHP & MYSQL Novice to Ninja). If that's as good as the first one, you'll be flying through it. I'm by no means a php expert, but I'm learning because of the book.

If you want REAL value and great tutorials, try learnable.com. You can read all the books online, and depending on your membership level, download a couple.

It is well worth it, and it explains everything. It was just what I was looking for, so give it a go.

Good luck with it,

Andy.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

w3schools (dot)com, is the best site for any types of tutorials.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

In my view Youtube is best for learning PHP tutorials.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

Hello friends....
As my point of view online reading is best way to learning PHP tutorials.It is more beneficial and suitable for you because you have to learn your time.I share some best site that provide you best knowledge about PHP.phpreferencebook.com,learncomputer.com/best-php-books-my-top-5-choices/,kavoir.com/2009/06/best-php-books-for-learning-php-and-mysql.html.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

Hello! You can download great video tutorials for PHP at w3schools.com. I got mine from that site too and it's really effective and easy to follow lesson. You should check it out yourself and see if it works for you. Best of Luck!

Re: PHP tutorial
 

Thanks for your helpful suggestion.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

w3schools.com is the best place to get tips on programming in php. If you are planning on programming in Drupal/Magento/Joomla/Wordpress, I'd suggest picking up a book that is specific to the type of site you will be working on, as you will also learn the tools that will be helpful to you.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

I would suggest learning from an open source mvc framework like codeigniter, cake, symphony, etc....

It might seem a little intimidating at first, but with frameworks you will be able to develop projects much faster and at the same time you will learn php basics.

Codeigniter is the easiest to learn

Re: PHP tutorial
 

If you want to learn more about PHP, a lot of site that you can visit. One of the best site to learn PHP is "php-forum". You can learn more, basic, middle, and expert there.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

I agree with teguhyuliantos
Forums like
phpfreaks.com
phpbuilder.com
digitalpoint.com

helped me out a lot. However using these forums succesfully does require you not to be lazy and always first read the php.net before you ask questions otherwise you will not get any help.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

The best PHP/Mysql book I own is "Murach's PHP/MYSQL" You can get it at pretty good discount on amazon.

For free video tutorials try Youtube, there are TONS of programming how to video's on most languages. Some video's are horrible but many are good, stick with the trainers that teach in the way you best learn, check out their sites and buy their products if they have any.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

You can learn it at w3schools.

Re: PHP tutorial
 

You should check first Lynda com...
they provide best tuts ever I think... :)
Don't think about money...

Re: PHP tutorial
 

I find w3schools tutorials hard to read. Too much going on in their pages. I prefer to purchase books that give more detail and specific examples of uses that you aren't provided at w3schools. Youtube and other sites are something I also use though sites like lynda.com offer much better all around education on basics of languages like php, css, javascript and what have you for visually oriented learners.

I use all that are available but w3schools, personally I just find their pages hard to read with all the stuff going on their pages. It's great resource though.
