Hey cool wacko what is that book you ordered, i would be interested in it.
if you have an url too it would be great.

Hmm It's not much help for real beginners... You must be sure to know HTML and some javascript before you start... Like I said, it's actually a schoolbook.

The book's name is
Internet & World Wide Web, How to program
Written by Deitel, Deitel and Nieto. (http://www.deitel.com)
published by Prentice Hall
ISBN number: 0-13-030897-8
My version is the second edition... It has different example scripts and includes some things that are not in the first edition.

i want to learn PHP and MySQL too
i'm learning SQL at school right now (with Microsoft Access)

tcbil · Post by **tcbil** » 06 Jan 2003 20:17

is it complicated???? i know that once you get sql in your head mysql should be very easy php is anover problem i would use it a bit more if i could get to control the size colour and all these things on the text without having to go threw html. ill have to find a suitable course too.

I must say I can't really understand but before you learn PHP, DEFINATELY learn HTML!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's no use to build a PHP script if you can't built a website around it now, is it...

yes i know that, i have a good knowledge in html, i already use a little php but not much. i have to learn sql thow.

I can advise getting a friend that knows sql... Then invite him over, but make sure you've installed PHPMYADMIN on your system (it's free, works with PHP, and will do the SQL for you). Then when he comes over you ask him for a simple example. Voila

SQL isn't really difficult (at least, not yet)

What if you don't want to build a web site? The TTDPatch manual (CHM version) was partly created with a PHP script. And the TTSGM "check for updates" server script is in PHP, but doesn't output HTML.

thats a good point, but for me its for my website so html is essential.

Post by **orudge** » 07 Jan 2003 17:51

Heh... yes, I was only playing around.

tcbil · Post by **tcbil** » 07 Jan 2003 17:53

lol, ok, do you know php well???

Post by **orudge** » 07 Jan 2003 18:01

Yup, very well.

GoneWacko · Post by **GoneWacko** » 07 Jan 2003 18:22

BTW where's the CHM script hahaha

I forgot about that point... SQL is indeed not just websites...

tcbil · Post by **tcbil** » 07 Jan 2003 19:09

sql is more like database based sql is more like programmin and server side script. i only use the redirect script at the moment.
