im looking for some classes for the phpbb
i am NOT html trained , the most i have ever done run a craft community on msn .
is there a way for me to lean this php ?
like a class that is easily understood by beginners ?
help!
thanks

    Personally, classes are over-rated. Your best bet would be to learn PHP from a book (O'Reilly PHP Cook-book, SAMS Teach Yourself * in XX Days) are some that I've read. They're pretty good. Plus, it's a lot cheaper:

    SAMS Teach Yourself PHP, MySQL, and Apache All-In-One
    O'Reilly's PHP Cookbook <-- That's more of a book with problems and solutions, but a good reference none the less.
    PHP & MySQL For Dummies

    Why do I personally like books? Because you can get the SAME standard information from a book as you can from a teach for 1/100 the cost. Yes, teachers could actually give you hints and pointers and shortcuts, but not until after you know the basics. And that is what this community should be. A place to get pointers, tips and shortcuts.

    If you want to learn phpBB (the forum script) then I suggest you learn PHP, MySQL, how they interact, and classes and templating with PHP. Once you get that, examine phpBB and do as you wish. You could also ask for their help on their forums as well.

      thank you for your quick reply

      i will look into these , i must admit , just the wording alone scares me a bit lol
      thanks for the help

        thanks to you too . bpat1434
        not knowing is killing me , but its hard to ask questions on a forum since i dont know what im talking about .
        and understanding any of this on the forums is useless for the same reason .
        thank you so much for taking the time to answwer
        i will continue to look for something i can understand ,

          Well, you ask questions to get answers. If I were to define insanity, it would be paying tution or per credit for a course teaching me content I can learn from 1 - 5 books for 1/10 the cost.

          The best way to ask a question on this type of forum is to explain what you're trying to do. Link to relevant pages to show what you have (or the errors you're getting). Show us your code (using the &#91;php&#93;&#91;/php&#93; tags). Try and explain what it is you want to have happen. Then, politely ask for suggestions. So, a good sample would be:
          Quick & Easy problem
          And, once your question is answered to your satisfaction, mark your thread as resolved.

          You just can't get discouraged. I think that's probably one of the biggest things about learning something on your own. You run into a road block and then you get frustrated, ask for help and wait. In those situations, get up, walk around, leave for at least 10 minutes. Then come back and look at your code. It will hit you like a ton of bricks.
