Thanks everyone.
I found an old mod yesterday and started having a play around with it. I managed to update it slightly using javascript code from the intertnet, but then had to stop when features such as the one below stopped working and I couldnt get my head around the code to resolve it. PHP Code:
Ive been trying to find out the best php/sql book to get. Ive had a search around and this book seems to come highly recommended. "Build you own database driven website using PHP and MySQL by Kevin Yank" Even one the coders of vbulletin was reading it back in 2002, so cant be that bad! Just wondered if anyone else had any recommendations that helped them along and managed to code mods for vbulletin after. One more quick question, once you have a basic understanding of php and mysql, is it difficult combining it with vbulletin? |

This is one of the many "differences" to "basic" PHP. |

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['lastactivity] > 0 is like saying If the users last activity is greater than 0 seconds AND $vbulletin->userinfo['lastactivity'] > mktime (...............)) and the users activity is greater than the result of mktime() then... If your not sure what the mktime function does, look it up on php.net Its great to see you have a big interest in coding Just remember not to give up and keep things simple. |

Its amazing the amount of ideas you come up with and then think "Thats too difficult at this stage" so your spot on with the "Keep it simple" Im currently working my way through the javascript book. Some parts seem simple, other parts I have to keep reading over and over. Once I feel confident with that im then going to move onto php/mysql. I'll get there one day! |

Too late now! Javascript was the only book they had in the library when I went down! I must say im glad I got it. Im about half way through and got a grasp on most things. Ive got a week off so going to start having a play around with a simple banner mod I thought of.
THIS is the book im thinking of ordering, had some good reviews from what I can see. Did you start learning via books or did you learn everything online? I must also say thank you. Its nice to see a coder reading through this section and helping out people who are just starting. |

http://www.w3schools.com is a great site. Go through the PHP tutorial there then create a test file and test a few functions. |
