Looking for PHP script for project practice.

Post by Audioicon »

I'm still trying to learn PHP and this is my problem so far.
All the PHP tutorials I have read or encountered, including books will spend 500 pages telling you what is PHP and what does it do. But no "practical projects" to work with.

I'm kindly asking for direction to "PHP standared scripts" meaning up to date industry standared scripts that I can use as a "project." Basically I can study these scripts, tear them apart, put them together, research them and then start to do my own scripts.

I'm wailing to pay for the scripts but with so many out there and me knowing very little about PHP, I find it difficult telling the authenticity. How do I know the script are up to standared?

Thanks for any help.

There is no such thing as "up to date industry standared scripts" in PHP. You can look at the code of popular PHP open source applications and libraries. But popularity may, or may not, mean code quality to you. What do you want to build with PHP?

By saying "PHP Standared Scripts" I was meaning Scripts that are up to current PHP versions, are fully functional, bug free and security risk free. This will give me an excellent place to start practicing how to create standared projects for my foundation with PHP.

I'm for scripts like, having date and time, form scripts, including the ability to validate form fields on the "server side rather then using Javascript/Spry.

Creating blogs, just basic project stuff. The ability to have user sign in and out or have their name display on a page when they sign in.

Things like that.

Any ideas?
