First learn xhtml its easy, css and then start learning basic php like how to create variables, learn how to create functions, using important functions like if, else and important variables like $_POST and $_GET then after you can learn about classes and after all that you can start learning mysql.

Let me give you your first lesson.
To make an html file always start it with <html> then <head>put your title code etc then </head> then <body> everything that should be shown ... then </body> then </html>.
A php code always starts With <? or <?php and ends with ?> and must have the extension such as .php, etc....

If you're on a Pc, go to the media section of this site, there are some video tutorials posted by GumsLone. You can also visit w3schools.com. It's always a nice start. Then don't forget uncle Google. He responds well when you ask intelligent questions. Most importantly, make sure you practice whatever you Learn!

@kevk3v. . .i meant whats there to learn, in its simplest form, even 'pinky' can understand it by just looking at it.

**kevk3v** · 10.06.10, 16:20

find something your interested in, find a source code around that area (look for a virgin source which means basic, unmodded source) and start playing, I learnt to code php/html/css all at the same time as those were the languages i needed to work with to do what i wanted. I started off by editing the faq and rules page of a torrent site which is mostly just html (boring but its a first step), within 4 months i was programming a completely new tracker parser and metadata compiler, something which aint exactly simple to do. You need to find somewhere to focus your attention and do it for the right reasons. If you want to learn to just "code" then you never will be anything special, but if you are part of a site/community and have a reason for doing it other than to earn money or something then you may be able to pick it up. Its sort of like hacking, if you declare yourself as a hacker, your a c0ck and aren't a hacker at all, if you want to hack people for personal gain or to be an idiot then you will never be anything more than a very poor script kiddie.

Do it for the right reasons and find somewhere to focus your attention would be my advice, tuitorials are good for the very basics, but they wont teach you real coding. dedication is important too, 5 and a half weeks is no where near enough time to learn anything substantial, it will take you a year to learn the basics fluently (ive been programming for around 4 years to get where i am now, and i took a steeper learning curve than most).

One thing to note though, dont try and learn javascript at the same time as php and the rest, its not easy, ive only been doing JS for about a year and i still mess up and mixed up between functions and what things can and cant do (i.e. an array in javascript can have no key names unlike php, you will understand that more as you go).

Gd Luck, you will need it along with plenty of coffee, one last thing is if you go the route of finding a port of focus like a source script like myself, find one with a decent community, ot an unsupported POS or something where the community think there gods (most often they are not and have really aweful programming)
