About learning PHP

Post by PHPnewbee »

Hello everyone, long time reader first time poster...

I have decided to learn PHP programing, but I have no backgroundof programing or webdevelopment. So my question is should I learn something before I get started in php?

It would probably help. The w3schools tutorial for HTML and CSS are both excellent, and very easy to learn. A couple days of practice will have you building css/html sites. The reason you want to have html and css under your belt is so that you can use it to display what you do with php.
