New to PHP
How do I start learning PHP. I have learnt few basic things in HTML. Now I m looking forward to learn PHP as I m looking forward for a job in the same field. Please help. I have installed Xampp on my Win 7 64 bit. I have uninstalled iis7 from my computer. Somebody tell me the basic requirements for this PHP and how to proceed further? Please help.o

Re: New to PHP
Yesterday on eproblem that I had was since iis7 was installed so whenever i type http://localhost it takes me to the default iis7 index page. so i cleared all other files and folders in htdocs except for the xampp folder and that has partially resolved my issue. Now it shows a link of a folder named xampp and when i click on the folder link it takes me to the page which I intend to make as the default page for localhost. What should I do? niendl covers

The xampp link that I m talking about is here... 

Re: New to PHP
It sounds like you'll have to fix your IIS7 now too.
PHP pages should run immediately with an xampp install. xampp bundles apache, mysql and php. But as you discovered you can't run two web servers on the same port on the same computer. If you need IIS and Apache set one of the two to run on an alternate tcp port.

Re: New to PHP
add index.php to your C:\xampp\htdocs folder and see if you find a blank page when going to localhost
If so, you're good to go. I found w3schools very helpful when first learning

Re: New to PHP
Since you have a background in programming the methodology of writing programs / code is already there so picking up on the syntax should be easy; i've looked at c# and some of the syntax are similar to phpjohnw2738 wrote:I am new to PHP language.. i know java, C , C++ and C sharp.. does any of these languages helpful in learning PHP?
