Before you learn PHP, it is recommended that you learn HTML, which I am learning my coding from W3 schools.

The best code editor you can use is "Notepad++".

@AndroidT01187 , Nah VI is the best editor hands down, but Notepad++ is ok if your running Windows. But PHP is best run in a LAMP stack (Linux,Apache,Mysql,Php) in my opinion.

@123poofya To register the files, go into cmd.exe and type regsvr32 FileName.dll

I downloaded php twice, but every time I press enter on the command prompt it says that 'php' is not recognized as a batch file, internal or external command, or operable program. HOW DO I DO THISSSS???!!!!!! :'(

Nice! Do you plan to make a big series of tutorials on PHP?

[yoshiblue7]

If the first couple of tutorials do well, then yes! xD The first 5-7 will be within 2-3 days of each other. Tut 3 will be up either today or tomorrow

[lemondededemainTV]

Great! Do you study all that in school?

[yoshiblue7]

Everything I have learned with PHP Programming has been taught to me through school yes.

I am sorry to delay any more uploads, but as most of you well know, Christmas is quite hectic. I will have the next tutorial up and running as soon as I possibly can.

Tutorial 3 goal date: December 30, 2009.
