Learn with me as I Learn to create Websites with PHP & MYSQL

Hi and welcome to my blog.

I've always been keen to learn how to create good and clever websites and have recently gone down the route of learning PHP (version 5), also using this together with MYSQL.

This seems to be a very common method of creating websites, infact many big name websites such as Yahoo use PHP! As do many other search engines.

i'm a complete novice with this and will be running my websites on a basic Server 2008 R2 server at home and i use 123-reg (see links) for my domain names. (Which are very cheap and just point to my home server).

I've created this blog to share with other "noob" website creators out there like myself, also as a method of helping me to remember and understand the commands. So please join me, on this PHP/MYSQL journey!

I'd love to hear from anyone who has also been learning PHP and/or MYSQL and lets share in our sites too!
More brains working together = more ideas and better websites!

But before i start, i must mention the most excellent websites - http://www.phpfreaks.com/ This site (forum) is just an excellent source of help and coding ideas. I've made a couple of posts to help with with my sites and i've had almost instant replies from some helpful (and clever!) people. I definitely recommend joining this site and using the forums.

Lets go....
