  • As one of the teachers said, you open the textbook and everything becomes clear to you! It is impossible for you on the forum to learn the basics. - Anton Mukhin
  • I advise you very well to think about choosing the first language, are you sure what php is? In general, I would advise first to decide what interests you, at the level of reading a couple of articles, to learn about other languages. Then weigh the pros and cons and choose where to start - you need to start not with a book but with a goal. “I’m not a programmer and I don’t know anything about languages.” In general, start right now with this. Oh yeah - if you are still thinking of learning php - you need at least knowledge of html (although, IMHO, all self-respecting developers should know it at all) - Zowie
  • I’ll add @AlexWindHope to the above. I was guided by the choice of what will bring me a big profit, regardless of whether I like it or not. And I do not regret. Because all languages ​​are good. - Anton Mukhin

    I was guided by the choice of what will bring me a big profit. Usually such people do not get a big profit. But they don’t also feel at home naturally =) I just think that it’s important to love your job, then you can achieve something (in terms of something more than an absolutely deserved s / n), and as one of the classics said (to my shame I don’t remember who it was, well, not the point): If you like the work, there will be no more work - Zowie
  • You need to start with a simple example [Hello World!] ( Phppatterns.com/docs/design/hello_world_in_patterns ) - ReinRaus

Read everything in order here

    http://www.softtime.ru/bookphp/gl1_1.php http://php720.com/index.php The first online tutorial will help you quickly understand the basics, but the second one is a little stronger on the tutorial, but both are written in a normal, accessible language that can be read and understood about what it is about! I would advise you to download more if the speed of the Internet allows, PHP + MYSQL FOR BEGINNERS, this is a video course Popov Eugene, which is of course good, but everywhere they write that he leads many mistakes in his arguments, but the Kid explains everything so that everyone it is clear, I can advise a video course PHP level 1 from the Specialist, so far, for mastering it is just normal, only level 4) I think when you open the tutorial, then you will not have a question what are operators. I am also a beginner php coder, a month and a half, when I started learning html I didn’t know what php was

    • @Sleepik Somehow, after studying Popov's courses, a person will follow his recommendations and it will be difficult for him to drive something into his head - he will stand his ground, and in general it is necessary to learn not just read and forget, but with setting a specific goal for example, some forum to pile up (of course, about the forum, I bent too much =) but still) so that you think of what you want to achieve and look for information in pieces, and learn and get the infa from your head, but you can’t just read it somewhere, if there are problems then write here to you here with joy will help you brother))) - Michael Nikolaev

    there is a book "php 5 in the original" by Dmitry Koterov, Alexey Kostarev, briefly, clearly, does not load

      With prayers and 100 push-ups on the fists. But seriously: there would be a desire, the rest will follow. You need to learn to program, and not learn the language. If you learn, any language will work for you.

        PHP 4 Tutorial This is if you need a tutorial. Just the basics are explained, I started with it, though, then I was already familiar with several programming languages. Note that the book is on PHP 4, so after studying it you will need to read about OOP and PHP 5.

        • Why do you recommend books on 4ke? Secondly, if a person does not know anything about programming, then most likely he needs to read books on the basics of programming. - DUP

        There is a very good video course from Evgeny Popov "All Technical Moments of Online Business in Video Format 2 or PHP + MySQL for Beginners" and the book by Stephen Holzner. I started with this.

        • Video courses are always better remembered as they explain everything on fingers - Sanshung
