Okay before you yell at me for makin a topic that has already been made, I can't search for php cuz its only 3 letters, and I don't have 3 years to go thru 67 pages of topics. So yeah. :D
Anyway! I've been running around the web looking at sites and their source codes. I'm about to get a domain and redo my current website completely and I'm thinking I should use php. However, I've been searching and reading all on the web and I can't get any answers in plain english. I'm using Yahoo! Small business solutions to host my site and they support php, perl, dreamweaver, mysql and all this other stuff. But I don't know how to apply all this crap. So let me ask you guys. Whats EXACTLY does php do? What makes php easier and more useful than its alternatives? what are phps alternatives? What tools do I need to use php? Do I need a server? Why is MySQL and do I need it for php? What is perl and is it for use instead of or with php? What are the perks to using php in terms of useability and function for the visitors? How should I go about learning php and implementing into my web page? Any other important factors that should be noted. I'm just trying to get some answers here. Because I'm getting frustrated because of all these things that are listed out there but I don't know any of them. I am very familiar with html as well as css and a little javascript, plus flash and dreamweaver. And I know dreamweaver creates php files. I'm just trying to get a grip on all this crap so I can move forward. Any answers are very greatly appreciated!! |

php is already installed on your server. that's what it means when your host says they support php.
all THAT means is that you can, if you so choose, run different php scripts on your domain, and the server, having already had php installed on it, will understand how to process your code. we cant tell you exactly how to install php scripts on your domain. different scripts and applications have different installation methods. most php scripts come with documentation that will tell you what to do to install it. |
