brand new coder needs direction for idea
Posted: Thu Sep 14, 2006 10:26 am
I have never coded a thing before but i'm doing my best to learn php.
Here the gist: I want a website that i can post the latest books I've read. The beginning layout is at http://www.adamschoonover.com/php/books.htm
When i enter the information I want it posted to the space below in a listed fashion.
I know i'll need to set up a database for the information, but can anyone give me some direction to go in to learn? Not in terms of websites for tutorials, but what parts of PHP i'll need to learn, like databases. Will I need to put all the information in an array, or I should put xyz part of this in a function...
I'm starting from scratch and I will learn it eventually, I just want to be as efficient as possible.
Thanks for any help!
