markchiu Posted December 20, 2003 Posted December 20, 2003 I personally like html a lot.....more than other two....cgi-bin haven't touched yet....php now on osc stuff.....why html.....well...certainly there are so many easy tools to make html homepage or shops......however, html somehow has some limits...(just my opinion....i am not a language freak..... ;) :blink: :lol: ) php.....is very interesting so far for me....but then it will be much harder...since the only could be done by "Writing the code".......(gives me lots of headache........CAN"T SLEEP!!!!!) well, what you guys said....which is more interesting and which is easier to learn??? :) :) OS-commerce is great, but with other magical contributions, that is just so "COOL"!
Guest Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 HTML is for beginners ;) It's what you like because it's what you know. I know that probably sounds snotty, but it's just the truth. cgi-bin is just a pain in the a$$ if you ask me. PHP is currently the best code-base out right now IMO. If you know HTML, you can learn PHP. Just sit down and tell yourself you're going to learn it. You can do it ;)
♥MYC267 Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 HTML is just a markup language, it doesn't allow you to do anything clever like interact with a database etc... PHP or PERL or any server side scripting language all generate HTML content which is parsed and displayed by your web browser. You can't compare HTML with PHP or PERL... it's not for the same purpose. Dan
Guest Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 Not sure if that was directed at me or him.... Of course he'll have to learn MySQL if he doesn't already know it -- my point was merely that they share a lot of common concepts. No, they're nothing alike, but if one has an understanding of HTML, that gives that person at least some advantage in learning PHP (in reference to a new programmer). I've seen many people try to learn PHP w/ absolutely no programming experience whatsoever -- not even HTML. Obviously they ended up getting frustrated and gave up. That's why I told him to just go for it. ;) So markchiu, start doing research -- check out tutorials, forums -- anything you can find to help you in your journey to learning PHP. I promise it will be worth the time and effort in the end ;) And of course, don't forget MySQL -- you need to understand how databases and PHP work in conjunction with eath other to be successful. Good luck!
♥MYC267 Posted December 23, 2003 Posted December 23, 2003 Absolutely... if you don't know HTML then trying to learn PHP is a waste of time... learn to crawl before you can walk. Dan
markchiu Posted December 23, 2003 Author Posted December 23, 2003 You guys are very very right, personally, if you want to open a shop or using something like php stuff, a very basic html have to know for sure, I have a friend now trying to ask me if i can teach him making a shop, but then he doesn't know html stuff.....I am very confused how to teach him how to do :P :rolleyes: ....... ya.....mysql is a very new thing to me, so is php stuff, sure while i make a simple shop(as long as it works normally and clean now..... <_< :blink: )....I will spend more time to learn these more!!! :lol: OS-commerce is great, but with other magical contributions, that is just so "COOL"!
Guest Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 Yep, Php is a coding language and HTML a markup language. Php is maybe the easiest coding language, so it`s good for start. Buy some php books, like php & MySql for dummies. And start learning it`s not so hard. :D
