Sorry if this is a dup, but I posted and it seemed to get lost....

I am just learning php, and I like to use newsgroups to suppliment the
learning process.

Can anyone reccomend a good source for information to a newbie and is this a
good forum for my level? ....or is there another one you might suggest?

Thanks

Gary

hi Gary,

This is a great place to cut your teeth on php... I was in your boat
about a year ago, and came to this list and have learned a ton from
people here... And hopefully I've ed a few people as well.

One thing that I could suggest if you don't have a project you are
working on currently, every time someone posts a question to the list,
try and create a solution for it. It not only gets you into the code
in significant ways that you are more likely to remember, it gives you
one heck of a code library pretty quickly.

If you have questions, please feel free to post them, but please make
sure to include the code, php version, and the actual error you are
seeing. That way we can you step through it.

Thanks Gary!

Both came through. Sometimes it just takes a minute or two, and
you shouldn't get a copy of your own message.

Here and http://www.phpbuilder.com/ are the two resources I
recommend most frequently.

Well...thank you all for the warm and friendly welcome, I will probably try
to steer one of my projects to php (or at least a portion of) in a short
while.

One of the things a client wants is a "landing page", so I am assuming that
php might come in handy for that...

Thank you all and once I get in deeper I'm sure I will have a lot of
quesitons.

Thanks again

Gary
