Topic: Pharo Tek IV: The PHP Menace

Ok. i figured i would start a new topic considering that im am going to do my best to make my Site a Php coded site. This way my entire site can be integrated into php and MYSQL databases. To start off, My site is "Under Construction" and the files for my site will be located at:
http://pharotek.xtremeconfusion.com/

that is for now, til i get the whole php thing off the ground.

Now since i want to make my site PHP code then i need to learn the language right? well i dont know diddly and would like to learn. Anyone got a tutorial site you know of that i could learn the basics of PHP?

[edit]I will post what im hoping to accomplish in a new site design in another post[/edit]

PT: OK progress (I hope I didn't prematurely close the last thread though)

hooray for humans provided some good links (and welcome to the Asylum) and take a look at the material available here:
www.gurusnetwork.com/tutorials/php/phptemplate/phptemplate.html www.gurusnetwork.com/tutorials/approval/templatedesign2/index.shtml www.gurusnetwork.com/tutorials/php/dynamic_php_mysql_1.html

and here (DevShed in particular offer a nice series of tutorials in PHP and MySQL which should provide an awful lot of what you are looking for):
www.devshed.com www.phpbuilder.com

Read through them have a play, get a bit of testing done to see how things work and you'll be throwing together dynamic database driven sites in no time!!

http://pharotek.xtremeconfusion.com/index.php

you can see my php crap. i need to get those links set up and then start work on my database

PT: I'm a little confused. I went to the link and I can't see any PHP (which means you're doing something right!!). I presume you've got the design sliced up into includes which should mean you've made a first step. Keep us updated on how this is going and let us know if you need any help.

Im wondering how i can make all my links:

Header.php:

<select class="nav" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">

  <option>Site Navigation</option>

  <option>----------------------</option>

  <option value="http://pharotek.xtremeconfusion.com/">Home</option>

  <option value="http://pharotek.xtremeconfusion.com/projects.php">Projects</option>

  <option value="http://pharotek.xtremeconfusion.com/article.php">Articles</option>

  <option value="http://pharotek.xtremeconfusion.com/award.php">Awards</option>

  <option value="http://pharotek.xtremeconfusion.com/contact.php">Contacts</option>

</select>

look like:

<select class="nav" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">

  <option>Site Navigation</option>

  <option>----------------------</option>

  <option value="http://pharotek.xtremeconfusion.com/">Home</option>

  <option value="http://pharotek.xtremeconfusion.com/[b]index.php?link=projects[/b]">Projects</option>

  <option value="http://pharotek.xtremeconfusion.com/[b]index.php?link=articles[/b]">Articles</option>

  <option value="http://pharotek.xtremeconfusion.com/[b]index.php?link=awards[/b]">Awards</option>

  <option value="http://pharotek.xtremeconfusion.com/[b]index.php?link=contacts[/b]">Contacts</option>

</select>

im want to make it like that, were it just calls the files. Eithier that or actually make the entire site one file

PT: That looks fine and you are on the right lines with converting the links in the drop down menus. I would recommend not making your site one file as it will get horribly complicated fast (although you can but as your code gets more complex as it will the file size will rapidly go up) so you might want to leave the drop down boxes as they are.

You could then have articles.php and call specific ones via articles.php?article=2, etc. I don't see any advantages in making it one file although there are ways to make it easier if you go down that road.

*bump*? um I thought this topic was finished because I can't get to the page... it tells me If I can see the page I'm on the FBI's suspected terrorist list... or in other words I get a 404 error page... So if you still want comments on that page, check out the link.... and see what da matter...

Synthetic: I'm not sure but I think we are now looking at (otherwise I'm also on the FBI's lists - although I've suspected it for a while!!):

PT: If this is right I'll change the link at the top of this thread (or you can).

http://pharotek.xtremeconfusion.com



<B>Pharo Tek

Patrick: OK what ever is good for you. I can leave this thread open so that people can review those pages or you could start a new thread asking for reviews and I'll close this one. Whichever you want.
