Learning PHP

Post by Simonee »

Hello,

I want to know how much HTML/CSS do I have to know before I can start learn PHP?

While arjan isn't wrong when he says you can learn PHP without knowing any HTML or CSS, you will find PHP easier to pick up if you're familiar with HTML first. If you want to make websites you're going to need to learn them both anyway so I'd recommend doing some HTML before jumping in with PHP.

Yes, I've heard some rumors that it will be all the rage again this summer, retro '96 design.

Echoing onion2k's comments, since PHP is mostly used to generate HTML, it makes very little sense to learn PHP first, I think you'd find that very confusing.
