June 16, 201412 yr Hello Was wondering if anyone can recommend any good up to date learning material for PHP. Thanks
June 16, 201412 yr What sort of level are you looking for? If it is beginners you are after then have a look at http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/php
June 16, 201412 yr Author I have some basic knowledge, I have been going video based through thenewboston website, I think the people doing the videos are from codecademy
June 16, 201412 yr I started with this by Larry Ullman ... I took a transition from PHP4 to 5. I find books better than web tuts as you can't copy and paste
July 1, 201412 yr Author Alex from phpacademy is a good starting point. phpacademy.org Yeh Alex does the videos on the new boston website, and they look easier to use than his website as they seem to be in order. So might use them. I started with this by Larry Ullman ... I took a transition from PHP4 to 5. I find books better than web tuts as you can't copy and paste To be honest I would prefer a book than web tuts, as it means you have to right thinks out. Not copy and paste like you said. My concern with books at the moment is with the update to PHP books are not going to be that reliable Might need to stick to videos, I was using codecademy but find that it doesn't load properly or doesn't tell me if code is right or wrong
July 3, 201412 yr What sort of level are you looking for? If it is beginners you are after then have a look at http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/php I agree, code-academy is a great place to start!
August 5, 201412 yr To be honest I would prefer a book than web tuts, as it means you have to right thinks out. Not copy and paste like you said. My concern with books at the moment is with the update to PHP books are not going to be that reliable There is that as a point but a solid foundation in prepared statements, operators, functions etc is king - tuts for the latest craze
August 11, 201411 yr To learn basic visit w3schools or tutorialpoint(http://www.tutorialspoint.com/php/) Install wamp/Xamp and practice. Here's Php Manual -> https://php.net/manual/en/ Enough to start . good Luck ! :-)
August 12, 201411 yr Do not use w3schools. As mentioned CodeAcdememy are good. Treehouse is better still.
