Does anyone know any good tutorials to help me making php in dreamweaver?

thx :)

Do you mean learning PHP and writing it in Dreamweaver. Or just how to write PHP in dreamweaver.

[darklok]

i know nothing about PHP, so it would be easier to just use the dreamweaver tools the actually learn the code. So "Or just how to write PHP in dreamweaver."

First it would probably be good to know what your end goal is...are you trying to make a website? What would it include (forum? Polls? Static web site?)? What kinds of things do you think you would need PHP/Dreamweaver for?...

Then people can be able to tell you more clearly what you "should" do to try and make it.

im just trying to learn it, i can administrat a forum pretty well, so i post a news article in a forum and that article appears on the main page of the site. (i have ibf)

Well adminstarting a forum isnt really that had. Andd to be honest I dont really know how I learnt PHP all those 2 months ago. But I think a good way to start is just by doing a few very simple tutorials and just understanding different functions and they uses the basic syntax.

I would have to agree. I don't know PHP all that well, but I started VBScript and VB about 4-5 months ago at my job and that really helped out. I can use that knowledge and am basically able to READ PHP without any problems, but probably wouldn't be able to code much...vbscript has a lot of documentation online. Here is a start...

Make a new text file on your desktop. Write the following line in it:

wscript.echo("Hello world.")

and save it. Rename the file to (something).vbs

then double click it. This will display a windows on your computer. "wscript" is an object, and "echo" is a method (i.e. action) of that object. That method shows a message box on your screen with the parameter inside of it. PHP is somewhat similar in that it has objects and methods etc. but with a differenct way of writing the code (syntax). Micorsoft has a lot of documentation on vbscript and javascript at www.msdn.com and search for "scripting."

PHP seems different, yet similar to me. Hope that help a bit...I know it's a little off topic but I thought it would give you some idea of what to expect.
