any body develop with PHP?

shoot me an email if you know PHP and can help me with some basics.

I’ve tried some computer related forums, but they seem to shy away from the one on one help unicyclists seem to give each other.

Thanks.

What did you need?

I have always found what I needed at

www.phpbuilder.com or
www.php.net

But you probably have already tried them.

gilby, check your PM.

Phil, thanks for the links, I’ve tried them and many others :frowning:

what’s PHP?

For the correct technical description, follow the above link to PHP.net, try also mysql.com.

Here‘s a basic description: It is a server sided programming language which can create HTML pages that are dynamic (do not cofuse that with Dynamic-HTML). HTML is client sided

So what does client/server sided mean? HTML is sent to your browser as an ascii (text) file. Your browser recognises the HTML-Language because the commands are inside Tags „< >“. Because the HTML commands are executed locally on your computer, it is known as client sided. I.E. you are the client on the server.

PHP does the same, but before it sends the HTML to your browser, it perfoms a query to a database to gather the information requested and creates the HTML necessary to display the requested page.

PHP does not have to do queries, it can also be non-dynamic, however that would be like buying a car and then pushing it everywhere (or even a unicycle).

Examples for its use are forums, such as this one and interactive web sites, like online shops or online car configurators.

Hope that was easy enough to understand, without causing the experts too much pain with this description.

Here is another link that keeps it quite simple:
