PHP Starter

[tbobker]

My website is specifically all to do with PHP, MYSQL, and Apache web server. I started it because while im still learning these three aspects of web development i found a limited number of forums / websites dedicated to these. 

I found that some forums were a bit negative when small, petty questions were asked by novices and either didnt answer my posts or replyed "Search Google" (meaning bugger off). in my opinion this is rather unhelpful, when really you just want an answer.

So have started PHP Starter for this very reason, which really is still in development, lots of features i want to add as my php and mysql skills develop.

Nice idea. I have to say from what I can tell there are hundereds of amp sites already that I would have thought are at least trying to cover the beginner aspect. But if your experience has been to the contrary and you think you can come up with the goods where others are failing, then more power to you.

One thing though, is it wise to use short tags '<?' in your logo? Some would say it's a bit of a bad habit to get into using them.  What about
<?php $tarter; ?>
or something ? hehe.

Anyway. Good luck, hope it goes well. I shall keep an eye on it.

hey thanks, incredible logo idea.  i suppose part of my will to do this site is to learn php it gives me a reason to write it (mods for the site)! thanks for reply.

Nice looking site. I deffinently agree about the logo and glad to see it is changed.

Though I don't have extensive experience with AMP I do have a decent amount and can totally agree with the use of <? short tags. It is far better to just use <?php tags and to get used to using them. That way your software will work on all php servers rather than just the ones that have short tags enabled (which isn't many from my experience).

I would deffinently work on getting some content on the site, especially the tutorials. I know it's hard when starting but I'm sure you can get something on there.

EDIT: I joined up and put up a couple simple PHP tutorials for you. Hopefully, if I have time, I can make some more tutorials and get progressivly more advanced.

Hey thanks guys for the possotive feed back, and thanks for joining. I have just set it up in the last few days which is why there is nothing on there, plus the reason of posting it on here now so i can get some feed back on it and ideas...which i have.

Thanks for tutorials.
