| | Hello All,
I am learning PHP. I have been reading several tutorials and such but what I am wondering is this: is there a site that recomends simple project programs to practice your coding? Or can someone recommend a few programs I could write to get better. Kind of like learning it in school - after you learn it, you get an assignment to go practice it.
Thanks,
Dennis |

Try making a chat. First make it so it records data in a file. THen after a while change it to a mysql database which will require you to know another language >_>

Then you will have to get a book on learning php and attend a course. That's the best way to learn since you will get assistance from instructors and they will perform assignments. But when self learning (as I did) you will mostly have to rely on tutorial sites. First get a glimpse what php is through one of those tuts out there. I'll recomend http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.aspNext start to write a simple code, don't panic if it doesn't work as you intend it to be. Trial and error make the best programmers. I'll think adding the include function to a html/php page is the best first practical to get your hands on. Something like this. CODE
<?php
include("hello.php");
?>
Next you may try something advanced.Try defining databases like this CODE
<?php
$host = "localhost"; // database host
$user = "root"; // database username
$pass = "blabla"; // database password
$db = "yourdb"; // database name
?>
Now you will be ready to write a simple news script. Try create a form and use a php script to process data and add to a database. Then another script to recall data. News scripts are the simplest scripts for beginners. Last time for blasting. You can write polls, email systems,rating systems or maybe forum scripts. As I said before the key is Trial and Error  Well here are some more links. http://www.php.net/tut.php the official one http://www.gimpster.com/wiki/PhpTutorialhttp://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/progra.../tutorial4.htmlhttp://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Tips_and_Tutorials/http://codewalkers.com/tutorials.php Here are the advanced stuff. You will find some great practical examples. http://www.spoono.com/php/tutorials/http://webreference.com/programming/php/

I think it's pretty easy to learn php as your first scripting language. Unlike others it has a "fun to code" type outcome and it's more friendly and easy to understand by looking at the code. C++ and Java all seems too complex and they are not easy to understand unless the coder left comments.  Starting your coding career in php is a good idea. All you need is a guide and plenty of practice. Then you can shift to something like c++ or java.

You dont need to learn C++ to learn PHP. That would be stupid for the fact C++ is alot harder to learn that PHP. Just go to http://www.programmersheaven.com/zone27/index.htm their are some php tutorial that can get you started. From that website you wont need anything else from alot longer.

It would be useful to learn C++, as it'd make php easier to program. Personally I have background in PHP(like) programming, but just the basics. My strategy (which is usually wrong) is to disect the code as I see, then ask questions on what I don't understand.
