Look at some tutorials there are a great amount of them all over the internet, its as simple as going to google and searching for "PHP Tutorials" or if you have the funds go to amazon and order a few PHP books.

What do you want to know? It is just like any other scripting language and is a whole books worth of details. Anything specific like what it does or what its used for?

I'm also interested in learning the basics.
Can anyone recommend a good site to learn it step-by-step?


Many thanks

erm, PHP (hyper text pre-processor) is a server sided web development scripting language. Its pretty powerful and probabley the most popular. Being that it is server sided you must have Apache or some other hosting utility to view the scripts. It has built in functions so it can interact with databases (mysql, ect...) hm what else...?

you start every php script with <?php and close every php script with ?>

you can find every php function at www.php.net and if you buy any book this is the first thing you will do...

PHP Code:
<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>
if u notice the begining and end are the same as i mentioned above. the echo statement is a means of displaying information on screen, the string is surrounded by quotes and every line (for the most part) is ended with a semi colon....i think thats the basics

The thing that discourages most people with languages is the complicated syntax. There's lots of ; , > ? ++ stuff, but it's not so (that much) with BASIC. You should start with that.

There's still some of it in BASIC, at least, when you get to the advanced levels of it.

www.php.net is a great site for learning PHP as Sidewinder mentioned. I also like to visit http://www.w3schools.com/

They also have great information on PHP and a lot of other web development resources.

http://www.w3schools.com/php/ for learning PHP.
