Hi guys.
I'm quite new to PHP. I've read a few books that usually follow the same structure, they go through, strings, variables, arrays, functions, etc. I've got to grips with all this now but I find just going over small examples to illustrate each section rather boring. I've only found a few books that put full sample project tutorials and/or code at the end of the book so you can really try what you have learnt.
I've done the ones I have found in books but I'm looking for more. Does anyone have internet links or book names where there are full web applications/site code and tutorials that I can go through to put my PHP skills to the test and so I can create something worthwhile from it??
thanks alot for any help
Anthony

Hi guys.
thanks for your replies. Yea, You have a good point there. I suppose I am just being lazy. I'm also thinking that I might not be ready to take on a big project from scratch by myself but I'll start small I guess.
I was given a php and mysql project in my 2nd year of uni and it didnt go well. I had to design a lecturer/room timetable system. SO the lecturers would log on and search for suitable rooms depending on duration of lesson, time, number of students, equipment etc. they could then book that room and view their bookings and change bookings etc. It was an interestin project but I lacked any real php skills so it was very simple in the end.
So...I think I'll make it a goal to make another one of these systems to a higher quality now I know PHP.
Thanks for offering to help me too. If you can I'd really appreciate any help as I progress with it.
thanks

There's a theory that says if you want to learn a something you should pick a project that's completely beyond your ability and try to complete it. Choose something that's absolutely insanely hard and that any normal person wouldn't even attempt.
That's why I tried to write a PHP version of Photoshop once. I never completed it, but I learnt a HUGE amount about PHP and generating graphics on-the-fly.
It's a good theory. It works.
