Understanding the PHP syntax

[mzanimephp]

One of the most basic problems for newbies like like me is understanding the PHP syntax. I can understand HTML tags such as: <p>paragraph</p> -that makes sense.

But when It comes to PHP I am totally clueless, I can't figure out constants, arrays, variables, strings and all that crap.

This article explains the basics of beginning to learn the syntax.

I thought it might be useful for other newbies as well. 🙂

Looks like a pretty good, well written article. This will probably be pretty useful to those who don't understand those parts of PHP, like the different correct syntaxes.

This should be kept at the top of the forum just like the "General Posting Guidelines" topic

Umm... It's called sticking a thread. 😛
And no it shouldn't. There should be a thread containing loads of good links to php tutorials, php articles, etc. Not one thread with just one little link taking up a space. 🙂 😉
