I wrote the following post in early December 2001. I hope it will be helpful for everyone to learn PHP
I guess most of the first questions are about how to configure them
Suggest some software
Server apache , database mysql, of course you must have php
It can be downloaded from the Internet, just search it a little
1. Apache configuration instructions, you can see it in this version
There is an article in it. It’s how to configure it under 98
I read that article almost every time I configure it
2. The configuration of mysql does not need to be configured now. Just execute the installation program directly
and that’s it
3 , the combination of php configuration and apache
If your e-text is good, just read the instructions in the php decompression package
Otherwise, just read the article recommended above
Tool issues
Now There are many PHP programming tools, similar to each other
For novices, it is recommended to use PHPED
function prompts, variable prompts, syntax highlighting, automatic indentation,
and it can also be debugged, but note that if your apache is If configured in
php modul mode, it is best not to share the same php.exe with phped.
Other editors include
editplus, which many people recommend, and I also like to use it the most
syntax Highlight, auto-indent, its auto-indent function is the strongest
If there are a lot of html codes in the php program you write, then editplus will
be the best choice, it can be very convenient Insert common html code, you can define your own shortcut keys
ultraedit, which is also an editor used by many people
syntax highlighting, automatic indentation
and it has 10 pasteboards to use , extremely convenient
In addition, you can open binary files, but it has nothing to do with writing php
I don’t use this much, but many people say it is very good, maybe you can discover it yourself
turbo php, a domestic PHP editor
supports syntax highlighting and function prompts, and its function prompts are very detailed
A promising editor, but it seems that there is still work to be done
to be accepted It’s just a matter of learning
First you have to buy or download a tutorial
I think a good PHP tutorial must contain the following contents
Detailed syntax description, detailed function description, several Classic PHP program explanation
