Re: Introduce Yourself!
Hello there. I came here looking for a forum where I can help people learn more about PHP and help troubleshoot issues.
I am 38, live in Ohio (US) I have been programming professionally since 1994 in general, been doing web development/programming since 1996, and mostly just PHP programing since 2000.
I have also run my own web servers (LAMP) and currently work as a Web Application Developer for a web development company.
I am also a moderator on another forum, which does get a ton of activity, however since it is generalized to webmasters, mostly people only just post about SEO and marketing, the programming/database side of the forum isn't as busy, and I miss helping people with what I know best.

Re: Introduce Yourself!
Hi there, I'm a long time computer fiend, started in High School in 1980 been coding ever since.
Been doing database work for over 20 years, about 6 years back started rebuilding the work database with LAMP, it's been both challenge, and exciting fun. MySQL and PHP have soo much capability, and there is always something new to learn. Lately I see the need to work on my PHP community networking, and this looks like a good place to be.
My main project site is http://www.wandahome.org/ (which hasn't been updated for quite a while - been way too busy on code - yes its been a one-person project, about 30,000 lines of my code so far (not bad code either, just lots of functionality), and still more to go. The project is going along quite well and I need to get it out in the community better. If anyone is interested in or does community organization data work you might want to check it out, much of it is tailored for family data, tracking and service stuff.
Been mulling over some ideas to greatly increase security (moving most of the code below webroot) as well as need to re-factor my data entry system (it employs eval, which does not work well with pre-compilers) so will be posting on those soon.

Re: Introduce Yourself!
Programming PHP from O'Reilly press is a good introductory book, it goes over most of the core functions and gives insight on how you can use them. Along the same lines php.net's on-line reference manual is a main reference for me, as after each function descriptions is a forum discussion which also adds insights on how to get things done (also point out pitfalls and alternate ways to do things).Enuf wrote:Hey.

As for Object Oriented Programming, I have been reading through PHP Objects, Patterns and Practice by Matt Zandstra, seems to be one of the better introductions.
