Learning php with no prograimg background?

yesbox

Hello everyone, long time reader first time poster...

I have decided to learn PHP programing, but I have no background in programing or webdevelopment. So my question is should I learn something before I get started in php? For example should I learn HTML etc?

In my opinion, PHP is okay for a first programming language. HTML is not a programming language, but it may be a good idea to learn that first since PHP scripts typically generate HTML code.

Thanks, so you think I should learn HTML first? Do I have to learn something more like CSS, of course those are not programing but they say that those are important to know before learning PHP...is it correct?

Yes.

Not so much for CSS. You could learn that after you have a sound grasp of PHP, or before, but it would not really matter either way.
