Where do i begin programming in php? [closed]_问答_开发者

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center. Closed 11 years ago.

i am a programer i have programed in C#, asp.net, Visual basic, Java, j2me, and now i want to learn php, i downloaded dreamweaver i choosed php and i watch only code html i dont know how to put textbox, radiobutton, and more controls, in the another (not java) i choose the control and i move it... it is easy doing it, of this form, i didn't see nothing as this, in dreamweaver, another question, how do you add class in php? for a programing OO ... add clases and met开发者_JAVA技巧hods (in php i believe they are called functions) if dreamweaver is bad, what program do you recommend me?

Yes, you can use DreamWeaver for PHP development. But don't expect the same 'look and feel' of IDEs like MS C# or VB.

For example, you can create your forms in design view on DreamWeaver by dragging elements onto it, and then add the code by going into code-view. I don't recall the actual wording used on DreamWeaver but there's one view with a designer and the other with HTML code.

For example, if you create a textbox on the form, the code behind it will be something like this:

<input type="text" name="txtEmployeeID" />

Now, if you want to print some variable from within the code, you could include it in the code view like this:

<input type="text" name="txtEmployeeID" value="<?php echo $EmployeeID; ?>" />

You can actually incorporate PHP code within the html page simply by enclosing the code within the php tags like above.

But this is only a very elementary example. You can actually use ANY editor and what you use would also depend on the OS you have. For example, on Ubuntu I use GEdit, with a few plugins that help easily read PHP code using a nice colour scheme. But for a beginner, this may not be the ideal thing.

I don't mean to advertise myself, but I have a simple video of GEdit in use on YouTube. If you're interested, you may check it out on my channel "marhaonline".

Eclipse is an IDE where it will assist you with functions...

Disclaimer: My recommendation is totally subjective.

I recommend NetBeans (my personal preference over Eclipse for programming in PHP) or Eclipse IDE + PDT for programming in PHP. I find those two to be the best PHP IDE's (if someone is not agree, please, see the disclaimer).

About OOP in PHP you can read HERE.

In PHP we usually don't drag'n'drop controls since we don't have any "Borland PHP Builders". Usually it is done manually in pure HTML.

My recommendation will be going with Zend Studio. It is developed especially for PHP Development, where as others, are created for multiple purposes.

Did I mentiond It is also an award winning IDE also?... Check Here

You are also asking about putting textbox, and radio buttons. This is more HTML based, rather than PHP, if this is major concern then, it should go with netbeans or dreamweaver, they provide better and user friendly UI for this.

In the latest dreamweaver, There is a panel called Insert Panel (Ctrl + F2 on Windows), it gives all the HTML elements, including form elements (Just select "FORM" from the drop down box"), which you can also drag and drop.

to begin php first u need to install apache, php, mysql u can get these as a group in wamp and xamp etc. u can download it and install in ur mission thats it.

and next for php, mysql tutorials u can go for the sites http://www.w3schools.com/ or http://www.tizag.com/

and learn javascript and ajax.

welcome to php. happy learning............

I say use Notepad++ if you're on windows, GEdit if you're in Linux, or Textwranger on OS X. Learn to code without the visual, and you will be better off for OO, understand the coding, and move much quicker than drag-n-drop. There are many sites out there that has tutorials. tizag.com is one i like, they make the steps incrementally small and simple to learn from. And don't forget about php.net, they have tons and tons of contributed notes from hardcore programmers as well.
