Learning Php?

Hey maybe you wanna try this first.

The website I start learning PHP,
PHP Tutorial - Introduction
PHP Tutorial

Make sure you know how to use variables and if statement in PHP then proceed to next step.
Google

There's no way you can memorise all the features or functions in PHP and most of the solutions can be found online.
For example you wanna do a contact form, Google "contact form php tutorial" or simply "how to create contact form in php"

The best website if you know the list of functions in php,
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor

Code:

---

http://php.net/if

---

(if statement)

Code:

---

http://php.net/while

---

(while statement)

Code:

---

http://php.net/explode

---

(explode function)

and more!

Hope it helps!

Despite it being PHP rather than HTML, w3schools would be one of the last sites I trust for any information, especially when there are so many better ways to learn other than reading from a single poor website.

Google killed off custom website blocking in search results. Every person I know, every person who responded to the news of this on HN, and indeed some of the biggest examples on the internet of the usefulness of this feature was blocking w3schools. Yet despite every technically literate person on the planet banning the website from their results, Google has yet to reflect this in its ranking, so it continues to sit on the very top of search results even above wikipedia, MDN, w3.org, whatwg, and even Stack Overflow, even though most of these have much more traffic and a higher page rank than w3schools.

Further, it's very clear that w3schools is a massive scam. The information on the site is very poorly maintained, years old, wrong in many cases, and presented in a fashion such that no working professional could ever find value from any of them (it's all "hey, here's this thing, try it out here on our website, but good luck finding any exhaustive table of information from us!"). Their name is obviously an attempt to validate the website as some official source of learning. The w3c should trademark their name (not just the logo) and file a trademark violation against w3schools for this very reason. In addition, w3schools offers paid services such as certifications, which are not recognized by anyone, ever. Yet the appearance of affiliation with the w3c and via blatant lies on their website, they continue to dupe people who don't know better.

You know those penny auctions that turned out to be clear scams? A quick rundown: you pay $1 (originally, it's like $0.5 now) per bid. Your bid on an item increases its value by 1 penny. So a TV starts out at $0.00 and 1000 people bid on it, and it's now at $10. The way you win is by successfully being the highest bidder, and by winning, all you have to do is pay that price and the object is yours. So say you're the 1000th bidder on the TV. Now you pay $10 for a TV (+ all the other bids you made to try to be on the top). In reality, they claim they're selling high priced items like plasma 46+ inch TVs for $10, cars for $1000, and some things for under $5, but in reality, it took hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of bids before the sale closed. And it's designed to encourage one-up bidding, so the bidding has no real cutoff time, it's whenever people actually stop bidding (!!!!!!!). The end result is that the TV actually cost them $400 wholesale, but they just sold it for $1010. They also go so far as to have their own bots make free bids against people when they don't think the value is high enough, to keep the auction open longer and feign the appearance of interest. They could potentially also be investigated for selling items without collecting appropriate sales tax when sales tax is made mandatory for internet-based companies in the US.

Yeah, these sites have been banned by Google from using their advertising services, and have been massively kicked in the nuts as far as search ranking goes. Why? Because they're a scam. Why, then, is w3schools still on the top of every fucking goddamn search about HTML, CSS, Javascript, or SQL?
