[Gucci Mane]

Hi guyz,

I am looking for some extra help on my trip in learning PHP. Is there anyway anyone could please help me by adding me on msn ([email protected]) to help me learn please. I have team viewer as well if we could do some things thru there.

 

P.S. Looking for to talking to you :)

Thanks,

- Including (Thanks to Danny)

- Variables

- Strings

- If.....Else Statement

Good job with that, i tried to learn php but couldn't. At least, you have started well with php, and hopefully will progress more in future. It's easier knowing html / css already becuase in them languages you use some of the functions that you have to learn in php.

Learn C/C++/C#, then make your own lang, thats eiaser

Really and you own personal language is?

Or was you just saying that to make everyone think your smart?

Didn't work out did it ;)

My advice is to hit php.net and search through stuff mentioned on here for example array, mysql_real_escape_string, case, while, do-while, for, foreach, if, else and so on (i know you said you knew if and else).

PHP is a open source language so things go out of date and new things come in everytime they update so it's always worth a visit.

Me look smart, no, i was just saying, that you can make your own lang, like php, in c ;)

notice where you said "Thats Eiaser"

I'm assuming you meant easier^

So if your not smart enough to do it why say it would be easier to create your own language rather than learning PHP. You do realize it isn't so simple to create a entire language but it is alot easier to open php.net and search around. Why comment with something so negative and obviously knowing you have no knowledge of it and then advising someone to do it.

Seems like a cheap way of getting your post count up.

LOL making your own languages you know how hard and time consuming it would be?

Before you did all that I could learn PHP, ASP, JS, XML and all lol

php was created in C so i can understand learning C but then PHP will obviously be different, like VB is from C

I realize Zero already rebutted this fairly effectively, but I thought I'd add my own piece...

I agree that background in a c-based language would help tremendously with his understanding php. Php is a 'messy' language, and if you start with something more sophisticated like Java or C++ you'll be forced to develop better coding habits. However, it's hard to know where to start with these strongly-typed languages - if you can find a course to take in some community college or something for computer languages, you'll probably be much better off to do so than trying to learn them yourself.

Once you have a c-based language under your belt, everything starts making more sense. You can see php, javascript, perl, whatever code and be able to trace fairly effectively what it does.

Alternatively, if you're 12 or don't desire to study a real, strongly-typed computer language, then just search the web for 'free php scripts' and practice setting them up on your server, perhaps converting them to work with the mccode game engine. That'll get you some experience.

As for the second part of you post - I had to create a programming language for a college course. That was perhaps one of the single most difficult things I've done in my life. Creating an actual, USEFUL, compiling, original programming language is a work of art. Don't bother if you don't have a dozen different languages under your belt.
