[ASK] PHP Resources and Tutorial ?

Hi Experts,

True, Without PHP we webmasters are like spoon without honey , well I come to the point I recently got client and he wants me to do seo for his project not only this he also want from me to go through his sites which is on a php platform and want from me to customize it, but problem is I don't know about php programming and I didn't tell this to my client because this is the only bread earner for me right now, I heard somewhere that you can learn about creating or customizing php sites through lot of php scripts available on net, here I am talking about readymade php script/ code which is created by someone else and distribute for helping other. Is there any site you all experts knew where I download php scripts as well as learn php through demonstration. I also heard about codeacademy site which help you to learn javascripts, I want same site to learn php. I will be grateful if any shed some light on it.

W3Schools is the first place to go. Perhaps look at the Lynda.com video tutorials which you can find.

bad idea to look at this kind of site because you don't know where to start

i suggest you learn the basis and after search on google what you want to do , find a script and modify it .

I like php because there are huge amount of scripts on the web for pretty much everything you want to do .

Have you got any idea as to what you need to do?

For learning php, I recommend you go to your library and look for a PHP for dummies or something like that. I hate learning new programming languages from forums and internet tutorials, I preferr books.

If you mastered your first hello world, and got the grip you should go to php.net. There you can see what commands php has and what they do.

phpclasses.net is a great site for readymade, well php classes. You don't get a complete script there, but classes you have to put into your code. This is much better for customizing.

was recently suggested thenewboston.com on this site, have had a good amount of success with it so far - click on "programming" and "beginner php" and there's like 200 videos there on php alone.

This is what I want to know where all those scripts are please specify the site name which provide all scripts in one place

not on a specific place , all over the web
just google : php + what you want to do

Try these:

PHP Code Library, Tutorials & Forum
PHP Video Tutorials
Official PHP Docs

if you need some books, check these sites out:

there will be enough material for you to read there.
However, what I recommend is you don't just read, write some simple codes and when you encounter roadblocks, go and search on Google. Most of the time you will find answers in forums
