.php newbie...
Hi there, I've been trying to learn php for a while now, but am getting really stuck on it! I understand some of it, but I haven't the faintest how it all goes together. The only time I've been able to figure anything out is when I have looked at a script, disected it and cross-referenced stuff with various online php manuals.
So my question is: is there anywhere I can find ready made php scripts that I can look at and learn from, as this is how I find it easiest to learn. The only time I see any, is when people are selling them for extortionate prices!
At the moment I am try to work out how I would create a page that allows me to search a database, but in a selected field. kinda like the LJ search list, with a bit you type in and then a drop down list to select the field to search in.
There is lots of other stuff I want to try and work out, but if someone could point me in the right direction to start with that would be great.
I have looked at the php manual, but I am not a programmer, and all the jargon on it's own is far too confusing!
Help!
