Don't feel bad I can't wrap my head around learning to code in php either.  Maybe pick up a book.  Not sure if they have a php book in this series but when I started out in HTML I didn't know squat till I got the HTML for dummies book.  Took it and ran with it.  Maybe they have a php version.  Some online guides that I've looked at and even downloaded talk so much over my head it's hard and frustrating to get a handle on it. 

Try a local bookstore or library or you could try and search for it on the web or amazon.com.

hey shujja and anitacrafts just go to bookstore, and get this book
"sams teach urself php,apache,mysql all in one" - it just costs 250 rupees.

It tells you all the settings and setup to be done in any OS u prefer.
Read it and make it a point to try each peice of code given in the book.
once u finish it, read as many tuts as u can from tutorialized.com.

if u do so, I guarentee that 3 months from now, u will know php better than ur mothertongue.

That book is so good, i could give this guarentee to a pig also [provided he knows english]

[sb3700]

yeah actually the sams teach youself ... in 24 hours books are pretty good - i read one recently

i also recommend them, though maybe not to a pig... 

[mddu]

Nice!  I could stand to learn how to use mysql as well.  I'm gonna write that down and the next chance I get (when I get some more $$$) I'm going to get that.  Amazon's got it for under $24.

Thanks for the book info.

try this. its an online tutorial for php. i personally used a book but this doesnt look too bad

There is a lot of material on php online, a lot of tutorial you don't have to read or buy a book.
To sb3700: I've learnd first C and C++ then PHP and isn't that different (if else, while, and some other things are similar), ok if you don't know anything about C C++ and imperative programming don't worry PHP is easier

[sb3700]

if else, while, and other control structures, are common to basically every programming language, in some form of another.

Java & javascript both have nearly identical control structures to php.

Even VB and other languages based on it, have similar things, the only difference being that instead of curly braces ({ }), you use EndIf, or EndWhile, etc (i think).

And i agree, PHP is very easy 

btw: i know nothing about vb or c or c++, and only a bit of java, so i may be wrong.

You could try http://www.tizag.com/phpT/
It has several tutorials on php. Thats where I learnt much of the php programming language.

whats dreamwaver so can  i create my own coded php site with it?

[Nevil]

Dreamweaver it's a web-editor from Macromedia (now Adobe) With Macromedia Dreamweaver you can create your site with code-writing but also positioning graphical element in the graphic mode.
Dreamweaver has also a good syntax highlightning for php, but I think that has no wizard or tool about it..
