I haven't touched the php manual

I learned most of what I know about PHP by correcting to original authors mistakes. :p :lol:

To be more specific: http://www.php.net/tutorial

I disagree, books, I found were quite useful. I recommend Sams Teach Yourself PHP, MySQL and Apache in 24 Hours. Books are especially helpful if you're interested in programming patterns, object orientation and other more advanced PHP techniques.

I have heard the guy is starting out, I do not think that when you start out in php you go directly with OOP and books, do you?

So most likely, he has a long journey to do in the php manual before reading books.

Dont waste your money on books. There are thousands of php tutorials on the internet, that are free and will teach you more, and explain more than any book.

http://webmonkey.wired.com/webmonkey/programming/php/
http://phpfreaks.com
http://tutorialempire.com
http://tutorialized.com

Most of the "php" related forums, will be nice and help out a noob.

Best way to do math in php:

PHP:

$n1 = "3";
$n2 = "5";
$domath = ($n1 + $n2);
print $domath;

That is how i do math in php... its the easiest way...

Neither do I. Congratulations in just conjuring something up out of nowhere.

I was merely stating that books are useful for advanced techniques to counter these people that think books are a waste, when they clearly are not.

Porte · Jul 8, 2005

Sorry, I thought you were not stating but you did disagree that books are not useful for newbies, and I was stating that he doesn't need any books --not that books are not useful-- But If he was asking for a php book, and I said that he doesn't need one, you could disagree then.

Thanks.

k dude
my first script
www.extremewebsitehost.com/email.html
BUT There is a problem
no matter wt user writes in the SUBJECT line it still sends the email with the subject {NO subject}

here is the code {DONT STEAL IT}
email.html

<form action="mail.php" method="post">
Your Name: <input type="text" name="name" size="20"><br>
E-mail: <input type="text" name="email" size="20"><br><br>
To: <input type="text" name="id" size="20"><br>
Subject: <input type="text" name="subject" size="20"><br>
Comments<br>
<textarea name="comments" rows="1" cols="20"></textarea><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

mail.php

<?
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$header=$_post['subject'];
$comments=$_POST['comments'];
$to=$_POST['id'];
$message=$comments;
if(mail($to,$header,$message,"From: $email\n")) {
echo "Thanks for your comments.";
} else {
echo "There was a problem sending the mail. Please check that you filled in the form correctly.";
}
?>

PHP:

<?
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$header=$_POST['subject'];
$comments=$_POST['comments'];
$to=$_POST['id'];
$message=$comments;
if(mail($to,$header,$message,"From: $email\n")) {
echo "Thanks for your comments.";
} else {
echo "There was a problem sending the mail. Please check that you filled in the form correctly.";
}
?>

Try that for mail.php.
