Ok I've started learning PHP from W3 Schools and its hard to be honest. Yes i wasnt expecting it to be easy :P ive tried learning Javascript beforer and PHP has similar functions to JS, this is the hard part though: I cant put my own scripts together. I just cant :( i understand all the functions and how it all works with the else, if else and if statments and variables but i just cant piece together a working script :( any tips please from those of you who can put scripts together :P Im learning how to get information and store information on to a MySQL database so i can create a member system as some people know. Im learning off various tutorials to find out how to store and retrive info. So any tips on creating scripts? ??? Its all confusing for me :P ill post up a script i need help with later :P it will be about storing and getting info from a MySQL database.

well depending on what your wanting to do there are some already made scripts out there that are set up so all you have to do is insert them in the proper place.

Well, first things first is to make sure you understand things like how forms work when submitting info.

For example, the difference between $_GET and $_POST.

Whenever you make a code (start really simple, even if you understand it, making codes is a must do to finish your training :P) and it doesn't work, keep trying to debug it. And if you really can't, then post the code here and we'll try to help you out. :)

well i tried to comment as much as i could.. best thing to do is use google and php.net to look up the functions i used.. that might help you understand how they work a little better and help your understanding of where to use them :)

books are usless if they are just syntax referance and functions ... if u wish to get a book (which unless you know enough php to understand what the hell they are talking about without having to ask someone) then i recommend PHP and MySQL Web Development by luke welling and laura thomson its my "php bible" and is where i learnt most of my little tricks from.

although when i bought it .. it wasn't cheap.. it was
$49.99 USD
$74.75 CAN
£36.50 UK :/
