    PHP video's

    I've decided to learn php. It is nothing like basic. I was wanting to know if y'all recommed any web videos or books. I've noticed that it uses HTML, which I don't really know to much about(like I can pretty much read it, and that's about it); so if y'all know of any web videos or books for HTML as well, it'd be appreciated.

    Re: PHP video's

    PHP code can be embedded into an HTML web page. So, you would actually need to have a basic knowledge of HTML first. However, a simple HTML page template like the one below is enough to start working with PHP code. You would need to run your code on a server and the YouTube videos on the link explain that too.

    You can get some free PHP videos on YouTube, etc. Visit the following link for some good Introductory PHP tutorials.

    You can use the template below.
    Code:
    <!doctype html>
    <html lang="en">
    <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8"/>
    <title>Introduction to HTML and PHP</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    
    <!-- Put some HTML and PHP code here-->
    <p>Happy coding</p>
    
    </body>
    </html>
    Hope that helps.

    I disagree. If you've no knowledge of HTML, I recommend you learn PHP using the command-line instead.

    As ever:
    PHP Code:
    <?php
        
    echo "Hello world!\n";
    ?>
    to run:
    Code:
    $ php filename.php
    I'm afraid I can't recommend and tutorials or books in particular.
