So I'm a self taught web and graphic designer, although have never done any real jobs LOL. I just like playing about then discarding layouts.
I've been attempting PHP and databases for the last few months and I haven't got a clue. I just DON'T understand it. Anyone have any links to info?
 
What are you trying to do with it specifically?

I have some understanding of PHP (enough to modify and edit things but not really enough to do complicated stuff from scratch). I have built a few websites though and have never really needed to use it (there is almost always something that will do the job of generating the php code for you :) ).

http://www.w3schools.com/ has lots of good information on.

If you are looking into making commercial websites then I would recommend not trying to do it all from sctrach and looking at content managment systems. You can knock up whole websites really quickly and there are tons or plugins you can use to add extra content or features which saves you have to create them from scratch. Joomla is an opensource one which is pretty easy to use and has tons of people developing plugins for it.
 
I know a bit about ASP but just starting to lurn about PHP.

Sorry i cant help much though
 
I am used to working with databases (mysql) and also good with php, if i can be of help , ask away

Thats what I'm after :)
Now, databases is like a living hell to me LOL. I know how to import all the content etc, but using PHP to embed it to a website is where I'm struggling. Since I haven't grasped any of it, I can't really ask questions :lol: I know its gotta be something simple but my brain just refuses to process it. So really just looking for something to read that's less confusing than the usual sites..
