Can someone list some the things you can do with the PHP language? After I finish my HTML, Javascript, and MySQL book, I'm going to begin studying PHP.

There are many things you can do with php. Form processors, galleries, counters, differnt log in things and forms, blogs, polls, content managment systems, ah there are so many things... If you learn MySQL as well you'll be able to make great things with php and MySQL.

You can take a look at this page: http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/index.html

Just looked at that. Those are the kinds of things you can do with PHP?

Yes, everything is made with php and probably MySQL.

:drool: nuff said.

I advise you to learn PHP for perhaps a bit before you learn MySQL seen as they work well together if you have a little knowledge of PHP. However, thats my opinion :p. Good luck!

sorry to put yoru statement down oron, but a working well rounded knowledge of relational databases is good knowledge whether or not you are learnign php. MySQL has MANY MANY more application that simply php, i hope you understand this.

If your well developed with javascript now, and you plan to take a look at php, make good sure that you also learn AJAX (Just a coined term) as well.

xmlHttp = new xmlHttpRequest();

is a beautiful thing :)

Heh no problem, I'm not particularly the most knowledgable guy going :) Thanks for the info though.

AJAX is AWESOME! I am attempting a full form submission within the next week. I'm not too good at it, but I hope to be.
