Does anyone have a basic program in php I can look at? I'm trying to learn it but I'm more hands-on and it's harder for me to learn it if I don't have code to look at. Seeing it in use and all...

Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks so much!

What do you mean by "program"?

PHP is mainly a web-language designed to create dynamic websites.

Besides many people (including me) use it for quick scripts to solve problems or hackits, but executed from the command line interface instead running it on a webserver.

So which of those are you interested in?

do you know the site:
http://www.w3schools.com/
?

I thinks it's really nice. ( I learned about it in here :) )

and I'm sure you can easily find a "php bible" around.( I've never read one but, I read one's contents and it was pretty good )

good luck

@baha: lolyes that's where I'm learning my JS/PHP from!

@livinskull: I was wondering what/how to use it for hackits and such. I suck at learning from a book. Like math, I've always worked best when I can see an example and watch it worked out in front of me. I'm not asking for the answer, or for anyone to teach me PHP hacking, I just need to see how it works. I should be able to figure it out from there.

Well, do you know www.hackthissite.org ?
it has challenges that needs you to do such things, and I think you can find examples and such things in the lectures section.
