learn php with projects??
- Thread starter AHarvey
- Start date
I found it was best to create something that could be used by someone or yourself so you could see it in action and be able to rectify any bugs that come from it being used by others. It also make all the work you put into it more worthwhile seeing it being used.
For example: I created a few pages that extract product information from external pages, process it and then store the information in a database for later extraction. It is mainly used for listing products that will be auctioned off.
This was something that just sprung up in my head while doing a job and the design has changed over time once I could see what was needed.

This. I started learning php at the start of the week with the idea of creating something useful for my running habit. I know exactly which functions I want it to have, so I just have to learn how to code them bit by bit.
It's probably not the most comprehensive way to learn it, but it's far more enjoyable and motivating. I've tried to learn languages from books and websites before but found them to be pretty slow moving and dull in comparison.
Well I do have an idea for a Eve online Corp recruitment database where corps can register and enter set info and then someone looking for a corp can come along and search using set parameters.
Was unsure about just jumping in though but I suppose it looks like I will have too!
Thanks all.
