Re: ULTIMATE TUTORIAL? (where)

>There has to be an ultimate php tutorial out there which goes from start to finish being easy >on the brain..... if someone finds a tutorial this good, i may be forced to post less on this >list..... and i wouldnt like that Try the WebMonkey and the DevShed ones, I think... Or just try the first three pages of each tutorial you can find, and follow all the way through the first one that makes sense to you. To a large extent, it depends on what you want to *DO* with PHP. MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MS-SQL, or all of the above? Do you need GD? How about high-precision mathematics with BC_MATH? Super-fast but low-featured "database" action? LDAP is your buddy. Need to retrieve Email and News in a web page? Find a PHP/IMAP HowTo. There can't be an ultimate PHP tutorial from start to finish because, like, unless you actually need LDAP or YP or HyperWave or any of the other rather esoteric extensions there's not much point in forcing them into a tutorial. You'd be looking at an encyclopedia before you were done with every extension. Hell, by the time somebody wrote the damn thing, somebody else will have come up with another extension. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
