I've been learning VB for the last year or so, but am beginning to realise that at the moment, being a good php coder would be much more useful than being a good VB coder. So, i've started going through various tutorials to get the hang of things.
Trouble is, the only tutorials that I can find are ones that are either dead easy to understand, even for a newbie like me, or far above my head. All the "beginner tutorial"s ive ready simply explain what php is, what it can be used for, and then tell me how to echo "Hello World!" 😉. I've found a reasonably good one that helped me with forms, getting variables from the $_POST array working - although it doesn't say how I can then get the variables sent by email to an address, or even posted to a different php file...
So does anyone know of any online tutorials, or even books, that will go right the way from beginner to more advanced stuff, without having to jump around various sources to fill in the gaps?
I don't have many problems with the theory of how php works - I understand variables/arrays, if/else statements, and/or/xor etc, and so on - I just need to learn the language itself. For example, stuff like putting the /n at the end of strings (as far as I can tell), or ending some lines with ;, or those "."'s that sometimes appear in between two strings of texts (which as far as I can tell are like the "x" & "x" in VB...) - these are the sort of things I really need to learn first. Then I can go on to building that database 😃
Appreciate any help,
