What are some good PHP books? I've been reading the manual on PHP.net and it 
looks pretty basic.

Well, I was hoping to find something with a certain depth that would show 
how to declare an array such as:
$myobject[] = new myclass();

O'Reilly's PHP Cookbook is worth looking at.

The "philosopher" is generally against books, he will tell you you don't need one.

I think you always can learn "something" even from a mediocre book, and you need all
kinds of input you can get to learn a programming language.

I have yet to find a good book on PHP. The social environment of PHP has led to a
deluge of beginner books.

Maybe http://www.codewalkers.com/c/b/PHP-Book-Reviews/ gives some clues.

I am not 'generally against books'.  But...if you already know how to 
program, a language reference is all you need, and if you don't already 
know how to program, is PHP the place to be starting?
But as you say..

" The social environment of PHP has led to a deluge of beginner books."

and if thats what the OP wants fair enough - "hello world" in PHP?

My apologies. I confounded you for a moment with Mr. Spock.

Fair Enough.  I am interested in learning how to program. I want to
learn from home.  Where do you suggest I begin?

You mean you know nothing at all about programming?

Tim,

I have created a website with PHP/MySQL ( corporateairamerica.com ).

I would say I did it by manipulating portions of the language.  Good
programming techniques would be coincidental. While the site works,
I'm sure a professional programmer would see many problems.  I do this
as a hobby, not a profession. However, I would like to do it right.

Hi Tom,

I think you can do thousands of roads.
It really depends on what you want to achieve.

A few considerations for you that pop into my head that are general in 
nature:

Pick a language:
Are you sure you want to study PHP further?
Why not C or C++ or Java or etc.etc.?
If you want to focus on webtechnology, there is also MS dotnet and Ruby 
On Rails, and etc.etc.
Not that I want to send you elsewhere. :-)
But why do you pick PHP? Because it is easy?
I know it is very hard to tell upfront what language is good for you 
(since you don't know the others), but it certainly is worth some thought.
PHP is very web focussed. You will never write a device driver in PHP, 
or a cool piece of 3D graphics software.
But for the web, PHP is very good.


Framework or no Framework?
These days many people work with frameworks. Frameworks have the 
advantage of hiding complexity, but they add bureaucracy, in some cases 
to the level that programming is no fun anymore, a situation that should 
be avoided at all costs.
If you want to learn, I suggest you do it without frameworks. Later on, 
when you made a lot of costly mistakes, you will be in a much better 
position to decide if you need one (or even write your own.).


Try to work modular/components/objects.
I express myself vaguely on purpose.
Bottonline: If you think you solved some particular problem do the 
following:
1) sit back and take a cup of coffee.
2) Try to describe what you just did. What kind of input are you taking? 
What problem did you solve? WHat types of output can you produce? etc.
3) Pull the thing OUT of your code, and make a class for it, or a 
function, or whatever suits your needs.
Then use that new component from within your code.
Also: Document it, store it somewhere where you can find it, preferably 
with some clear description attached to it.
You don't want to wander through your "clever classes" directory and see 
names like:
Test23_ver2
MyGodmodule
MyEmailer_ver2(I think)
myEmailer
Emailer
etc.
If you do this right, you will end up with a bunch of classes and 
functions you will be proud of. You can even add funky stuff like 
unittesting later on.

And last:
Let others review your code.
Let others review your code!
(3 times more)
Simply post in here a function, even a whole script, or some approach 
you have just finished, and ask for opinions.
Don't use an online forum, most I have seen are poor and filled with 
people who want to score karma-points or some other useless nonsense.
This group is pretty good.

There exist as many programming-styles as there are programmers.
Nonetheless, you will make rookie-mistakes, and more experienced 
programmers will catch them easily (mostly because they made the same 
mistakes themselves earlier.).
Don't be shy and remember most experienced programmers became 
experienced by having their OWN code reviewed (in a public forum or in 
private, doesn't matter).
For example: Do you really need to have your website screwed up by some 
SQL injection to learn to escape your input? Of course not: if somebody 
tells you how that works, and you understand it, it comes natural. But 
first you must have heard of the concept SQL injection.

Oh well, I talk too much. :-)

Good luck.

Regards,
Erwin Moller

Thank you Erwin.  I will be staying with HTML/CSS/PHP/MySql.  Plenty
for me to learn there.  You have given me a direction.  I'll let
others decide if you talk too much. :)  However, I assure you that
your post was far more helpful than TNP's contribution.

and how hard it is to achieve it.

In the beginning this book gave me a good step up.

http://www.amazon.com/PHP-MySQL-Web-Development-Edition/dp/0672329166/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331815807&sr=8-1

It delves into both PHP AND mysql from a beginners standpoint.


And of course don't negate this newsgroup. Even though you will get some 
flames from self-declared professionals, as long as you are trying to 
put the work in, there are many knowledgeable people here who have been 
coding for several years.

Just don't take any attacks too personal, as some here, this is there 
life to make a mark for themselves.

Why should anyone be interested in a forum entry dating back to 2005
discussing an OOP issue in PHP*4*?
