Re: favorite php tutorial / manual ?

My sole three points of reference upto just have been that online manual, this section of the forum and some severe banging of head on desk whilst rewriting test scripts. big_smile big_smile

Edit: Might add, though, that fortunately php does have a lot of similiarities to my scripting method of choice, (which is shell), so I wasn't starting completely from scratch, so to speak. The one thing I have found really unusual to get to grips with in php is it's one command per very specific use type implementation, if that makes sense. Or, to put it another way, each command has, generally, a narrow usage point.

php.net. That's all you need really.

Not to mention my webserver folder with over 50k files, of which 70% are tests of certain functions tongue
