Learning PHP

Post by **Azgard** » 05 Oct 2006, 22:53

Can anyone recommend any good sites to learn PHP basics and advanced stuff.

Gonna be working with a friend of mine soon for his new company/magazine, and he told me to learn PHP so I can work on the website/servers.

PHP? YUK!!!

Learn ASP.NET 2.0 and then tell your buddy that it's a much better option.

There's a world of difference.

Firstly, and most importantly, the tools to actually work in are better.
Visual Studio .NET 2005 is about 100 billion years ahead of anything you can get for PHP.

ASP.NET has much better structure than PHP in that you controll ALL Server code as normal C# or VB.NET code. Completely separate from the HTML, and it is compiled into a DLL.
It's not simply embedded in the html and then just enterpreted out of the page when it is loaded.

In PHP, all the server side code is embedded in the html.

The controls that are pre-made for ASP.NET are more usefull, better thought out, and obviously, Pre-Made, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. You simply use the control, and the compiler adds all the functionality, so you don't have to write all the Javascript for client side functionality.

The difference between ASP and ASP.NET is that ASP is VB, while ASP.NET is code independent. i.o.w. you can write it in C#, VB.NET or even Managed C++ if you want to.

I'm just learning what I was told to

Will tell him though and see what he says.

ASP .NET looks pretty cool, I've used VS .NET 2003 and I really enjoyed working with it with some .NET C++ projects.

Back on topic...

Here are some sites that helped me.

www.devshed.com (Try find their 101 tutorial)
www.zend.com (Great tutorials and they give more secure examples)
www.php.net (So easy to learn the language from the manual. Not a lot of programming manuals are like that!)
