Basically I've decided to start (properly) to learn php (again). Lots of people have successfully learnt it but being thrown in at the deep end. and I was wondering what I should do and as usual my fist thought was "ask the trap17 community".] So I was wondering if someone on this forum could set me a mini project for me to do. Nothing hugely complicated just doing something which will get me using PHP (and mysql). Hopefully alex(theprogrammer) will help me out if I get stuck!

Alright here are some small projects for you to work on, they start out easy, but get harder:

1. Redirect a page with php
2. Parse a variable.
3. Build a random page title chooser....
4. Build a template in php and parse it AROUND the content of a page.
5. Create a flat file shoutbox.
6. Create a shoutbox with a database.


taht should be enough to get your started.. lol

Read the list of files in a directory
List the images from that list
Display those images as thumbnails with links to a full size image
Read a file of content for a Template system and parse the H2 tags to create the Page title for the page.
Build a Spam-proof Contact form with a captcha system.

More fuel for the fire... Good luck with the projects.
