ThichHeaded Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 ::EDIT::Mod, please fix title didnt realize I messed up on title.Ok, a bit of background on me.About 300 yrs ago I decided to learn 3d so I can add a car, building, tree, human, or whatever into a game called GTA III. (The point is not the game the point is my 3d exp so please refrain from trashing a non issue here. Thanks.) I decided 1 day to learn to make 3d objects and see where it goes so i can get this thing into the game. Anyway I became so good that most people think I was doing 3d for more than 3 to 5 yrs. in reality, I was only doing it for less than 8 months, 3 months of playing around.In that time I had a site and i had other people do all the programing for me and such, I learned about IBF, IPB, whatever you wanna call THIS forum and dealt with that. as for actual main site things I still have others take care of it for me.I took your test on php and I seem to know more than I thought, I got 15/20 questions right, however I don't understand a damn thing about php. I have read a lot of books and still cant grasp it. I think its a contradiction on my part cause I picked up 3d so fast. I am wondering how I can learn php/mysql and effectively be able to do it and make scripts that I can use.I have read, stared at code, and nothing works. Any help??BTW 1st post.And some 3d art for ya guys to show how much I learned in so little time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesh Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Nice art!For learning PHP and MySQL, the only thing I can recommend is to come up with a project and start working on it. When you come across something that you don't understand, send a question to the PHP forum. There are some highly skilled developers in there that are constantly answering people's questions. Then, once you have a couple of projects under your belt, you'll begin to have an idea how it all works.Perhaps you could start with a form that a visitor would use to enter in some information. When the visitor submitted the form, it would be submitted to a PHP page that stored the data in a database table in MySQL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
