New to posting here.

Hey folks. I just said folks - yeah.

I've been into digging around through html/php/css/javascript for a long time now, but haven't gotten very deep in much of it. I never really found forums to be all that of an attractive use of my time until now.

I don't want to seem like I'm leeching the boards for help so I'm going to try and follow the netiquette (or however its spelled dang it) guidelines and spend time here contributing in topics I can help with.

I feel like I need a coding tutor around, and since I can't have that, this is probably the next best thing if it works out. Seems like a lot of people have success here. I'm just hoping I can get some answers and help when I need it and don't end up making mods/admins mad.

I sure hope after a few posts here I don't feel like I'm sitting alone in the dark not being noticed when I need some help.

Oh - since I'm introducing myself I guess this info might be interesting.. I'm 26, live in north central Washington State (USA) where there's far too much freakin' snow. I'm pretty good at a lot of different things, but not REALLY good at any one thing. So I've been a web developer, and webmaster, and I've been an IT Admin and a few other things. I'm a musician and a little bit of an artist too, but you're probably not so much interested anyway. I'll be happy to give out links to my web sites if you ask.

I have no idea how much you know. But to know the basics I suggest doing a few tutorials, this and this are pretty good. The manual at www.php.net are good as well. But of course, if you can't find the answer to something please post and ask. You can also check out this thread and the links on it.

When you post make sure that you post enough information and use the [ php] and [ /php] tags (without spaces) for your code.

And last (although a moderator or an admin should say it and not me) welcome to the forums.

Welcome, have fun, and don't get too drunk. 🙂

Thanks for the welcome 😃.

I'll check out the links in my spare time if I ever get any. I haven't had that much php I've actually written, but I've picked up on a lot of things just through reading other people's code, taking some tutorials, and through the similarities with javascript and have been able to just take what I know from there and move it to php with minimal or no effort. That's one thing I like about php...the fact that I can move from browser scripting to server scripting and vice versa very easily.
