PHP scripts


Question Posted Friday June 29 2012, 11:13 pm

Hello,

What websites would those experienced with using PHP recommend for beginners?
What other script languages are like PHP?

Is there a website with before and after examples with PHP code and it's function output? I learn better visually and by seeing how it comes together.

I'd recommend just reading through the PHP manual:

Many of the documentation pages for functions have usage examples.

PHP is a very poorly-designed programming language. It's sometimes nice to use because there are so many built-in functions, but it's slow, inconsistent, unsafe, uselessly-verbose, and error-prone. I'd recommend working with a better programming language to start with if you ever want to do any real programming. Python is popular now and fairly easy. Perl is similar to PHP (PHP was designed to be "Perl for the masses"), but Perl is actually competently-designed.
