Start off by setting up a local server with php on it, and then read the manual on the php site. Once youve done this you should have a basic knowledge of how to code in php and then you just need to aim to code something and then do it - asking questions on here when you get stuck.
Goodluck.

First of, welcome to the world of PHP and enjoy!
There are a good set of tutorials all around these forums, and the internet in general, to be found. But PHP (any language really, but since this is mostly a PHP forum) is something that will require you to put down alot of effort yourself.
---
Take the following hints in consideration, and remember them as rules:
You should start here:
viewtopic.php?t=8815 It would preferably also be bookmarked in this early stages in your learning time, as it contains a great set of thoughts you should be aware of.
Use the
search.php (Search). Alot. Most likely, your issue have allready been asked and answered upon. I know asking a question is faster than searching the forum, but I really do help.
Bookmark
http://www.php.net/ as most of the help you will get from any user here, will point you to the online manual. Not in a bad way, but to help you read more about the topic being discussed.
There are some other tricks, but the above are more than enough.
Oh, and try first, ask the question later. You allways get a better answer if you ask a question and can provide an example part of the code you are having issues with. Example:

Have fun.
[Edit: Moved the topic to a better place, as it contained nothing that really applied to the Tutorials section of the forum. The General part gets better attention to others wanting to reply. -- JAM ]

Google is always your best friend in finding tutorials
Look at some scripts and take the command to php.net and read about it.
like for example:
Code: Select all
<?php
$fp = fopen("file.txt","w");
?>
I would go to php.net and type in "fopen" in the search function and read on it, and most of the time there is other examples provided there.
another tip

Direct the form action to a php script which validates user input and processes the submission - including sending an email if you like.
