Jan 20, 2011 - This is good. But id on't even know what to start writing php in? Is it notepad and how do i execute it in a browser?

Jan 20, 2011 - You can use any basic text editor. I use text wrangler on a mac and notepad++ on the pc. You might prefer my other interactive tutorial on PHP. It's called Web Design and Programming. Much better than this one.

Jan 20, 2011 - thank you i'm realy struggling to get off the ground with this thing .. i finding it hard to sort it all out in my head how it all sorts together e.g php, my sql, web front end etc ... what file extension do i save the file as? thank you, ed.

derekbanas Says:

Jan 20, 2011 - Php files always end with .php It is best to print out the code and refer to it as I proceed through the tutorial. You'll find my other tutorial easier to understand because I type out everything and explain each line of code as I go.

Feb 11, 2012 - Derek, do you think PHP is still the most popular scripting language used on the web?? With other web frameworks popping up, like Django, is PHP in a decline?? Still worth learning??

derekbanas Says:

Feb 11, 2012 - Absolutely!!! PHP is extremely important. Python is used with Django and it's great, but most hosting companies won't allow you to use Django
