I am New to PHP - Need Help

Post by jagannathg »

Hello All,

I am new to PHP Scripting. But I have worked on ASP, ASP.NET,JSP and have good knowledge about HTML, XML, CSS and object oriented programming (Java and C++ are the ones which I have worked with). I am basically a Web Developer and Designer. But PHP has been always not my cup of tea, so I decided to learn it. I have Installed PHP on Apache Http Server 2.2 and perforemd all the checks and My Installed PHP and Apache is working fine. I had executed "HellpWorld.php" Program and it worked fine.

I need help in knowing whats the best Online Free Resource to learn PHP and then later on after getting the grip on PHP I want to move on to PHP with MySQL. At present I have not installed MySQL on machine as I want to get fimilar with the PHP Codes.

Any one guides me through this would be great.

Regards,
Jagannath

Thanks Johan,

I have been following the tutorials on the links which you have suggested me. Now have got some hang of the PHP. I have advanced little more in terms of coding in PHP. Now, I have a different problem.

I have a login page which validates the username and password from the Database (MySQL) and allows the user to access next page. The code works fine and it validtaes the user's username and password. Now I need to display that user's username after he successfuly logins. Tried to google a lot but not getting the concept.

Johan and any one who can help me with this. I know this is not a techinal forum section. I will post my query there too!!!

Thanks for all your help!!!

Regards,
Jagannath

Instead of using the written guides, i've used youtube, there are many guides there.
