Where do i start?

I have been toying with the idea of a php/mysql layout for my website. It seems to be way more efficient than other layouts. I was wondering is somebody could point me in the right direction.

Where should i start? Any tutorials that i should know about?
What is the easiest way to get into php and mysql?

Thanks

#1 Welcome to TF

#2 I searched for tutorials on the basics of PHP and read as much as I could find

#3 I went to Oxy's site (www.oxyscripts.com) looked at every single script and tried to make sense of them, fortuately it worked

Now I know that seems tetious and it was just the way I did it, just a suggestion, hope that helps.

Now, considering you are just starting out I won't point you straight to the PHP manual and say "Read gogo". That would be dumb.

The sticky thread on this forum titled "Compiled Link List with Descriptions" has quite a few sites in it, graded by level and what it contains. That may also point you in a good direction.

The best way to learn is from other people's code.

php.net/include will be usefull for your layouts. Otherwise, do what they said. The compiled links page is really good.

PHP:

<?php

echo("Hello world");

?>

I learned PHP also by looking at other peoples code and tutorials.. the PHP Manuel hasn't helped me that much.. I don't understand what it is saying sometimes.

once you get used to php syntaxt and OOP, the manual is a life saver.
