[PHP]Any suggestions?

[Joser]

Does anyone have any sugestions on a website I can learn from? I used http://w3schools.com for a while, but then I finished the course, got 100% on the test, and now I'm left with just begginer knowlege. Anyone know where theres like intermediate and expert level learning and tutorials I can look at?

Thanks alot !

I too followed those tutorials, then I moved on to learning projects. My first project was a poll script, further details here: http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/663

Yeah w3schools is good to start but there is just the basics. I bought a book on php5 and it was great :)
Books are good check them out sometimes they have examples and lessons.

Wut? Zend uses a framework?

Zend is a framework :). Never used it though, and never will probably.

I just found this out from youtube, before you posted. I guess its like Dreamweaver, but you can do more stuff? Please explain it to me?

Heh no.. Dreamweaver is a wysiwyg shit, framework is like bunch of scripts which does the work for you.. And yes, as Daevius said, zend is a framework..

Aye, basically frameworks enable you to work more quickly since you can use all the additional functions they build...all without errors (less then yours :P) and safety / error handling. It can speed up your work a lot...but I love to find it out myself and thus barely ever use frameworks.

My suggestion is to start experimenting with stuff. Come up with an idea for a script and see how far you can take it before you can't go any further. At that point go and research the part you can't get past and then continue in that fashion. I guess I'm the only one who learns by going forth and doing... fuck the lessons and courses.

I reach that point very quickly in new languages ^^, but it's good exercise yes :), trail and error is the way we learn to walk and cycle aswell ;)
