Hi,
I'm more or less a PHP beginner but have been working in the web arena for 8+ years w/ a beginner/intermediate programming skill set. as fate would have it, i've recently inherited a legacy website that was built in ASP that needs to be completely transitioned to PHP.
the good news is that the conversion has been started and all site particulars, except content are already placed into a MySQL database. so, there are section id's, page id's, link id's, etc. more or less the entire structure is in the database...which is right about the point where the previous programmer left. the final step is to create a new site structure/navigation system from the existing database content.
i feel like this is a very great test scenario but am a little overhwelmed w/ how to go about starting and getting off the ground, outside of doing the traditional tutorials/php book routine.
any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
