Php how-to for starters

Red Squirrel · Post by **Red Squirrel** » Tue Nov 04, 2003 9:44 pm

if you never programmed php before and would like to, this article should give you a kick start by teaching you the basic things of php. It is recomended that you know a bit of html or at least the main concept of web design. (uploading etc...)

There isn't any reason to call Red's work crap, "Guest". I thought it was a good article for us beginners. Discussion and comments are accepted; that's why a link to this thread is in the article, but even if you don't like the article, saying it's utter crap isn't nice.

Yep. Funny how he said setting up php under windows is not hard. He obviously never used or heard of Linux.

I would not be suprised if this guy was from bitbender's site.

Gotta love trolls. I like mine diced up with almonds on the side.

You go, Red! You probably know more than that poster anyway! Just remember, it's a full moon!

Thanks for reminding me, there's supost to be an eclipse tonight, not sure at what time I'll go check the news and start a thread.

It's super clear here too!

I put an alert similar to this for his IP:

ALL YOUR PHP ARE BELONG TO US! YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY TO CRASHING! YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO DEBUG MAKE YOUR TIME. HA HA HA HA ...

Man I hope I get a scada email telling me he got the "error".

I just realized I should not have deleted his posts but just edit them out, this thread might be confusing for some.

I only saw one post.

Don't think we will see the eclipse, too cloudy here.

Well, thankfully it isn't a once-in-a-lifetime thing.

The moon is in perfect sight here. I wish I had a digital camera...

There was two posts, by the same person. One was longer and dissing me and the article.

I missed the eclipse, it already happened I checked.

edit: had the wrong time zone, did not miss it.

hahahahahaha this is too funny. Maybe the article would of been better if the guy would of read it in order.

He read page 1,2,5 went on the forum most likely to make his post, then read page 4,3 and 2.

I bet the article would of made more sense if he would of read it in order.

Yes, I did see both posts, one just said, "Thats crap". Forgot about that one. It could have been posted as an opinion and put in a much nicer way, which could have turned into an interesting discussion on the subject.

Yes for sure.

This whole situation is ironic. I have 908 hits (wow just realized that now) on the article, some guy most likely trolling says it sucks so I block him... with a php script I made. Later on I check my email and get someone saying he really enjoyed the article and wants to link to it and of course I said yes! Am I the only one who sees the irony here?

If I was a girl and had a diary, this would definatly be worth putting in it.

Actually you can look up the fopen functions and other read/write functions and can make a file database. OR does the job require that it is a specific type (mysql for example)? I might later on release another article on data storage and talk about file and mysql database input/output.

Glad you enjoyed it.

this article talks a bit about installing php and mysql, but only under windows. But under linux you're all set as long as you install it.

php installs on the server and not the workstation, that's the beauty of it, you don't have to worry about what the client has on their computer, as long as they can support the outputted html.

all you need to run php is a good host, a good forum board i suggest vbulletin if you want to pay for it or phpbb if not both are good tho both have good and bad points then you need some good admins who know how to work with the code so you can make it your style but you also need some good members as well no good making a board if no-one wants to stay and chat

The code is functional, it's been tested. Did you maybe miss a semi colon or something? Newer versions of php just give out a blank page instead of a parse error, unless changed in the settings.

Only the European lycos, the US one still believes that everybody that wants a website with them just wants to make a Hillary Duff fan page

...now only if there was a free ColdFusion host out there
