Hi,

I don't know much about PHP or script, or shell script. Is there a guide or something that someone recommends to teaching people it. I know html, but when I look at my coding for scripts, it's just beyond me.

Thank you in advance.

Get the book "PHP/MYSQL Everyday Apps for dummies"

Look at w3schools. com it has some great tutorials for free on everything and you can find lots of good help on php there.

I am also new to php a couple things that have helped me a lot are.

Books....
PHP and MYSQL web development for dummies by Janet Valade.

I have learned a lot from the books and websites i listed and a few people in this forum has helped me also, so maybe some of it will help you too.

A book that I found invaluable while learning PHP was "PHP and MySQL: from beginner to professional". It has a huge collection of information about PHP and MySQL.
