Questions!- About PHP

[Blue-Inc]

Hi there,

I was wondering, what would be the best way to learn PHP for vBulletin? I sorta want to create vBulletin hacks, is there some sorta guide book for PHP? if so I am willing to pay for one. If you guys have any suggestions in Php books, please share them!

Thanks.

Hey,

I suggest this book:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/067...Fencoding=UTF8

And also, using the PHP manual at http://www.php.net.

That amazon one looks pretty, neat. I looked at the table of contents bit, and I must say I am impressed! I shall buy this book, tomorrow.

Are there any more books though? that could help me develop codes for vBulletin?

I second the book Danny pointed to. I bought it when I first started getting into PHP and it was very helpful.

PHP is a pretty simple language, so I really don't think you need anything more then a good PHP book and then the PHP manual. Though you might want to take a look at something like the PHP Cookbook.

I have ordered Dannys book, which hopefully is good

PHP, is complicated! But I guess as you get to learn it, it becomes simple. Il check that cook book out.


Edit:

I also found these books on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/160-Books-Manu...QQcmdZViewItem

There pretty cheap as well, and the BIN is only at 5.95 I might order it now...

i have a dozen of PHP books i bought through the years.I still read in it now and then.A good tip is to download a hack you like here and just "study" the code.One important thing is don't exspect you can run before you can walk ....

Yeah, I know it will take time, hopefully I can learn and be a good vBulletin coder, by the end of this year. Il have a look at that suggestion of yours about reading others php codes. But, I will try dedicate myself to this.
