Beginners - Learning PHP
#1

Hello,

I have started learning php. Have learned quite a lot. So is it good to learn HTML first and then continue learning php. I know basic HTML like tag and their uses etc. Never coded in pure HTML. And I dont know CSS.

So what is your opinion regarding this?

Thank you for reading.

Well php deals with the server side and html is the client side so yes they go hand in hand. guess since I am old skool I learned html before php existed but it hasnt helped me out as far as learning php just when I go to make a webpage it helps to know html and where to call for a php.

Oh…So that means I need not learn advanced HTML and CSS and continue learning php?

Thank you

#4

Definitely keep learning CSS.

LOL yes you are going to need to learn all three html, css and php! Php does all the action stuff , think of websites like a clock there is gears and things working in the background (php) and then there is the face of the clock which shows you the time(html) then there is the craftsmanship which makes the clock look pretty(css)! :stuck_out_tongue: then there is there is a bad a@# digital clocks (jquery & flash) but you can worry about that later!

I personally like functionality over looks, well, as long as the looks are clean and neutral.

#7

So that means now I have to learn html first then continue my php learning.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

html shouldn’t take too long as long as your using css to do most the work for you.
CSS and PHP are a lot more powerful and take longer to learn.

I personally wouldn’t dwell on html for too long.

exactly once you learn these:

[code]

[/code] you can pretty much create anything with those! then you just learn the css side, giving things id's and classes, positioning and adding background images changing sizes adding color and opacity floating etc. There isn't much to it ;) the easiest way I think to learn is get a few ready made websites, you can find them all over the net, get a host server or install one on your computer(wamp, lamp) then start playing with everything and see how it works, and visit http://www.w3schools.com a lot because they got good info!!!!

I have a PHP book purchased. Learning from that.

Well for HTML, I ordered a book which covers both CSS and HTML.

Thanks

Also remember to use php.net’s manual. Everything u need is in there. Check the comments there also.

Goodluck! Any issues feel free to ask :smiley:
