bwakad Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Just as I always was thinking "you can find anything on the internet" - why need it? But a member of this community (don't know if I can say the name) was so kind to arrange for me to follow a php course. And I must say "1 day has given me so much more tips which I consider to be gold"! Array, loops, strings, operators, and more. Never knew there were so many things possible in the right context... I really like the way it is explained, for instance the =, == and ===. Or even the ' ' and " " differences. 8
pwired Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 too bad you can not run php directly in the browser as easy like js.
diogo Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 too bad you can not run php directly in the browser like js. http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/javascript
pwired Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Yes, a browser loads and executes js directly but not php. (need a server for that) would be nice to run php directly in the browser without the need for a server, just like js.
diogo Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Each thing in it's place. If you learn JS you won't feel the need to use PHP in the browser. JS is a beautiful language also, and the only reason I'm not committed in using it in the server as well as in the browser is PW 3
Pete Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Php.net also has a lot of info if you're interested interested basics. I guess it's helpful knowing what things are called first though, but any good tutorial should cover that.
diogo Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Codecademy also has a PHP tutorial, must be good http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/php
bwakad Posted May 17, 2014 Author Posted May 17, 2014 Yeah... php.net is a good resource, although the community always have examples which look way to complicated for beginners. Anyways, I enjoy the course (lynda.com). 1
adrian Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 too bad you can not run php directly in the browser as easy like js. Not sure exactly what you mean here - don't know whether you wish php was actually a client side language or whether you just want to be able to test your code in the browser. If by chance it is just the latter, then one of these might help: http://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/ http://phptester.net/ http://writecodeonline.com/php/ http://phpfiddle.org/ Each thing in it's place. If you learn JS you won't feel the need to use PHP in the browser. JS is a beautiful language also, and the only reason I'm not committed in using it in the server as well as in the browser is PW Anyone feel like porting PW to nodejs 3

bwakad Posted May 17, 2014 Author Posted May 17, 2014 One thing i thought to be convenient (and as the course implies: during development) was the following code inside a function: var_dump(debug_backtrace()); It should be able to go through the steps inside the function one by one explaining what it did step by step. Unfortunately, it did not work for me and gave me a blank content page. Maybe my latest function was not good enough. lol
bwakad Posted May 24, 2014 Author Posted May 24, 2014 Keep solving my own topics! great to study PHP. 3
