This is web prog 5-g. It is about PHP basics. At first PHP can be confusing, but once you know what it is trying to do it isn't all that bad. It's just a getting the coding correct.

How do you close a PHP segment?

I found this website by googling php for dummies. I was having a difficult time after reading and watching the tutorials so I immediately began looking for the basics and some explainations. This site made it easy to get the basics and a lot of alternative ways to find tutorials. I recommend it for anyone as confused as I was at the getgo.

This, like the w3 schools, is helpful because of the simple nature in which it describes the layout of css. By showing what the code looks like and describing what should go where, it helps the person learning what the final (if basic) outcome should resemble.This, like the w3 schools, is helpful because of the simple nature in which it describes the layout of css.

I've added the webprog-2-a tag...

This is a simple tutorial for those like me who are unfamiliar with PHP. Here, you will learn the basics of PHP and what it can do.

As one of my classmates pointed out...sometimes it's easier to learn complicated things when they are "kindergatenized" Here I found a site which appempts to explain PHP at the very bare minimum. I found it to be long and wordy...but I am actually understanding it, slowly.

Module 3 for me is beginning to shape up to be similar to Godfather III. At first I hated both but now I realize their value. OK, in this here bookmarked link, author Vikram Vaswani turns PHP into something akin to a nice novella with excellent screenshots as examples. This tutorial is engaging, friendly and filled to the brim with info.

A really nice, basic resource that explains PHP in a clear and understandable way. It makes a very nice complement to the instructional videos for the class.

20 questions to test your knowledge of PHP basics.

I know I already "bookmarked something relevant" this module but I couldn't resist sharing this one as well. It's a VERY basic PHP tutorial with great links -- and is broken into bullet points. Bullet points make me happy! Bullets, however, do not. Happy PHPing.

This is a great website that explains PHP in a very simple manner and includes pictures, tutorials and much much more. I found it VERY helpful when trying to gain a grasp of what exactly PHP is.

This gives you everything you basically need to know about HTML tags, which is what separates one section of code from another. This will be a useful reference for those who are still confused about how to write legible code.

This site is very helpful for review. While I was able to complete the PHP assignments some of the concepts were a little hazy. This site is helpful if you would like further explanation. The author provides example code and breaks down each step in a way that is easy to understand. For instance. Here was one of the basic examples:\n\nLoops like these come in handy whenever you're working with long lists of things (such as jokes stored in a database... hint-hint!), but for now we'll illustrate with a trivial example: counting to ten.\n\n$count = 1;\nwhile ($count );\n $count++;\n}\n\nKind of scary-looking, I know, but let me talk you through it line by line.

Another great tutorial given by w3schools.com. This tutorial walks you through from the most basic steps, but it also explains very in depth material as well.

Lecture 3-3, at 26:52: I just got "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$'" on that line. Is that the error you are talking about, or did I do something wrong in addition? This could be something as basic as opening/closing brackets or a semicolon for all I know. Or, perhaps we really need a variable there. Hey! What about the two equal signs after the pointer? Is this the old "freak out the noobs with the double equal sign" trick?

About.com is always a good place to start because it provides a general overview with links to other resources. The MySQL article on About.com explains the basics you need to learn SQL code to use with your MySQL database.

Yay! Although the code doesn't look right when I view source? Is this ok?

Well, it's a good start, but you need to have it run the first 500 numbers, not up to 500 :). So, it's running about 480 short right now. As far as the code goes, just make use of a basic template, except for the PHP bit of it in the middle.
