php Chinese website (www.php.cn) Since I started this website, people often ask me on QQ, "My education is not high, can I learn php?", "Can I learn php?" ... Every time I hear this, I don’t know how to answer him. Take some time today to tell you a story about yourself.
Enlightenment
Around 2003, I was in the first grade of junior high school. At that time, I had nothing to do. My classmates often took me to the Internet cafe. He played games and I played QQ. One day by chance, I saw a book about HTML for the first time in my class teacher's textbook (the name seemed to be called The Three Musketeers of the Web). I was very curious. I remembered the title and looked up the book in the Internet cafe. It turned out to be a book about HTML. A book about web page production! Since then, I have often looked at information in Internet cafes to see if I could make a website. It didn’t take long for me to have my first website (movie website). I remember clearly that it did not require any technology. I bought a domain name, a virtual server (a network space of 100M), and found an open source movie program online (the programs at that time were all developed in ASP language). I remember that at that time The customer service person who sold the domain name taught me how to upload the program to the server and how to make the domain name accessible to the program I uploaded (now called domain name resolution and binding of the server domain name). Just like that, the first website in my life was online, I was very happy! Since then, I have my own website among the people (mainly my classmates) who have been surfing the Internet in Internet cafes. Looking at their envious eyes, my sense of accomplishment doubled. It was at this time that I became full of interest and desire for the Internet!
Time flies and we are in the third year of junior high school. After the first half of the third year, I dropped out of school and went to work in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province (making switches in an electronics factory). The day-to-day assembly line work is very boring and boring. I have read a lot of books. This was the first time I read a book on ASP language. After flipping through a few pages, I thought that this thing is all in English. It knows me, but I don’t know it. It is destined to miss me in this life! The book was just thrown aside. , and then read graphic design, computer repair, and other computer-related books that interested me (there were no computers at that time, so those who understood could continue reading, and those who couldn’t understand occasionally went to Internet cafes to check). I went to work during the day and read at night. But sometimes I think about it a bit unwillingly, why can others do it but I can’t? I read that ASP book again. I don’t know how many times I gave up and started reading it again unwillingly. Suddenly one day I realized why it wasn’t that difficult anymore. I seemed to have forgotten all the English words. Remember, I can read it completely, and I can understand it. I was really happy at that time, and my life was very fulfilling. Eight months passed like this, and the Spring Festival was coming soon. (Actually, I went home. got into a fight and ran away home).
I went to Shanghai the next year. I remember clearly paying a labor agency fee of 680 yuan before joining Sharp Air Conditioning Factory. I was responsible for driving screws for air conditioners and worked in three shifts on the assembly line. After working for a month, I really couldn't stand this mechanical way of working. There was no future and no future to talk about. I resigned resolutely and found a job as an apprentice in an advertising design company without telling my family (300 yuan a month, no money for free). During the day, I followed an advertising production master to learn advertising production (actually, the master was enjoying the cool weather in the summer and directing me to do things). Thinking about it, it was really hard at that time. Sometimes when I was tired and anxious, I really wanted to hit the master on the head with a hammer. , but I still endured it.
Relying on my own diligence and a little bit of cleverness, I actually pay more attention to what I do and study more, so I quickly mastered some common outdoor advertising and advertising design methods, and others such as neon lights and light box advertising. , acrylic lettering, PT board photos, instant sticker lettering, etc., were all learned within those two months. It can be regarded as mastering a skill. Later, I left the advertising company and worked as a temporary worker in advertising production. I paid 150/day for outdoor welding and 100/day for other casual jobs. I was very happy at that time. Occasionally I would receive some jobs and do them myself. , you can earn anywhere from hundreds to thousands with one order!
opportunity
Winter came in a blink of an eye. I remember that the entire winter of that year was basically spent on the roof of a 25-story building in Yangpu District, Shanghai. The property management and urban management did not allow construction during the day, and could only be done at night. The cold wind was biting. After the project was completed, I My knees have completely become cold legs, and the wind hurts to the bone. Even now, my knees are still icy in summer. I gave up the advertising industry when I had health problems. Thinking about it, I didn’t seem to know anything else, so what else could I do? One day, I passed by a computer repair shop. There was a big advertisement on the door saying "Computer Maintenance Apprentice Wanted". I just chatted with the master for a few words. Signed up. Early the next morning, I went to the computer store early and found the master sitting in front of the computer opening the backend of the "01bobo" movie system. I walked over and told the master that I also had a website with the same system as yours. He asked How much traffic do I have and how much income do I have per month? I was confused for a moment! I didn’t even know what he asked. On that day, the master installed statistical code on my website and taught me how to make money using the website. Since then, I rarely go to computer stores. Since the website was built relatively early, the traffic is relatively large, and the ads are hanging. After graduation, I will have a stable income. At that time, I started making websites full-time, but it’s funny to say that the ASP programming I learned often only meant modifying other people’s open source programs. I had no development experience. It was also very strange at that time. I used many of them. The programs were all developed in PHP. They were very weak and could not be modified. That was when PHP programs became popular. I was forced to learn PHP again. It was very painful when I converted from ASP to PHP. The code was written as ASP. (The most uncomfortable thing is that a line of ASP code does not need to end with;, and the judgment conditions do not need to be enclosed by ()). I don’t know how many times I forced myself, how many all-nighters I stayed up, and I finally learned PHP completely. Around 2008, personal webmasters ushered in their golden age. With a little experience, they could easily build a website with traffic of 100,000 or 80,000 IP addresses. It was very profitable at that time, but it did not last long. In the second half of 2009, the Internet was shaken, and everything involved The country began a major inspection of copyrighted film, television and literary works, and was forced to close all sites, leaving them unemployed again.
Counterattack
Later, I opened a computer repair shop and developed programs for others to make a living. Most of the time I was still learning new programming knowledge. After two years of this, I often like to doubt life. To put it nicely, I am unwilling to accept mediocrity, and to put it worst, I am willful. At the end of 2011, I transferred the store to a friend and went to Beijing alone... .....We started to develop Xiaozhu CMS in January 2013. In the first month of launch, we had hundreds of thousands of revenue. Now, three years later, Xiaozhu CMS customers have spread all over the country and it has become a nationally famous company. CMS system, of course, has also achieved wealth in my life!

We will do our best to let more people master PHP technology and realize their dreams!
Here I also give some personal suggestions and advice based on my own experience. If you want to change yourself quickly, find a good job, and get a competitive salary, then learning PHP is the shortest way to realize your dream! Some people say that it is too late for me to learn PHP? In fact, as long as you want to learn, it’s never too late to learn, you can start now! Some people also ask whether I can learn php? What I want to say is never underestimate yourself! Just be diligent and persistent! Behind any success is the result of your own hard work. I wish you success!
