Share how to learn how to get started with PHP_PHP Tutorial

Everyone has different learning methods. The purpose of writing this article is to share my own learning process. It is for reference only. Don’t blindly use other people’s learning methods, find a learning method that works for you

I often see some friends in some forums and QQ groups asking “How can I learn PHP well? Only in this way can you learn Chinese language well." But the most common answer from others is: start with the "simplest" one.

This simple may not be simple at all, haha. Below I would like to share some of my learning process.
Let’s talk some wasteful words first. I have poor language organization skills and talked a lot of wasteful words. Just read what you want to see and don’t scold me.

Actually, learning a new language is not too difficult. What matters is you. Whether you are ready to learn it well or not depends on your ability and determination. There is also a popular saying in the hacker community that "there is no computer that cannot be hacked." This sentence roughly means: If your skills are better than the administrator who maintains this computer, you can take down this computer and even defeat it. Take down all the computers managed by this administrator. If your skills are inferior to others, you can only continue to learn to surpass them. What I mean by these words is that friends who are planning to learn a new language must make up their mind to learn it. As long as you make up your mind to learn it, you will definitely learn it well. Don’t give up halfway. (Taking a step back, even if you don’t learn well, you must know more than others)

Understand what is the easiest:

1. The basic structure of a web page is html code. Therefore, you must be familiar with basic elements such as HTML/CSS/JS
2. Be familiar with PHP syntax, understand how PHP and HTML operate, and learn to combine PHP and HTML to complete simple pages

The PHP manual is a better introduction Teacher, the official PHP manual is no worse than the tutorials on the market
....

Several possible factors that affect the learning progress and whether the program is powerful:
1. Memory
Whether a language is powerful or not should depend on its function library and code execution efficiency.
Each language has its own powerful function library. To learn it well, you must spend a lot of time memorizing it. Good memory can make learning more effective with half the effort.

2. Mathematics and logical thinking
Of course this is not an absolute impact, because it depends on the complexity of the development project.
Small projects do not require much mathematical and logical thinking skills, but if you are developing projects related to finance or large operations, this is very important.

3. Have a basis in other languages ​​
“One thing can help you all”, the truth of this sentence is beyond doubt. It is said that it is easier for people with C language foundation to learn PHP. I have never learned C language, so I don’t know the effect of this sentence

4. Read more code written by others
Learn the strengths of others and make up for your own shortcomings, of course it’s not all about this
I always believe that the programs written by an organized team will not be worse than those written by individuals
My introduction to PHP started by looking at the code , I like to read the code written by others (I started with disucz, PHPWind and foreign phpbb, and the most popular open source BLOG program at present). I try my best to collect PHP open source programs on the Internet. So far, The PHP open source programs I collected and downloaded are 2GB in size, including BBS, BLOG, CMS, etc. I downloaded them not to collect them, but to learn their programming methods and implementation methods. If I don’t know how to implement the function I want to achieve, I will learn their implementation methods. It is not plagiarism of the code. The final result is that I want to learn through , turning technology into my own
I also learned ASP in the same way (Dongyihexun programs and other ASP open source programs)

5. Practice
Theory Although important, practice is essential.No matter how good your theoretical knowledge is, if you don't practice it, you won't be able to see the results or effects of the theory, and it won't make your memory deep, so you can't just talk on paper

6. Perseverance
Isn’t there a saying in the advertisement: “The highest mountain in the world is yourself”, I believe all friends can understand this sentence
If you pass your level, everything else will be easy


7. Find a learning method that is useful to you
You can refer to 4 for this article. I started by looking at the code
Some friends may ask: "Can you understand those powerful codes when you first look at them?"
My learning method is to learn "functions" from "use": PHP has too many functions, and it is impossible to remember all the functions in a short time, because I believe that a large project will definitely use common and necessary functions. Only when you find these functions can you focus on learning these functions. Can you say that writing BBS will use fewer functions than writing BLOG? Can I write a BBS but not a BLOG?
Finding the right learning method requires trying a variety of learning methods, so you can only decide this by yourself. After all, everyone’s learning style is different


8 , Try to find video tutorials as much as possible
It is better to understand one operation than what others say ten sentences. I believe all my friends have experienced this

9. Start with the project
You must "force" yourself to start by writing a project.
The "growth" of any master must go through a process, which is achieved step by step and is hard-won
The first works of many friends who learn PHP are almost all "guest books", because It is the simplest program
Being able to write a guestbook does not completely mean that you have started, nor does it mean that you know PHP. I started to want to use an "online bookmark" as my first work. , but I didn’t continue after writing the basic functions, and it didn’t feel very interesting. Now I am writing a CMS system that is completely correct for enterprises, including some common functions for enterprises. I want to use this as my first work to get started with PHP

10. Understand and learn PHP-related Technology
A real master must learn the technology related to PHP. If you want to learn PHP well, you must learn databases. PHP+MYSQL is considered a "golden partner"
So you must be exposed to MYSQL or MYSQL. If you think the database is better, start designing a more "reasonable" database. Reasonableness here is broader, including database optimization and query optimization, etc.

The last thing I want to say is: "Don't rely on "Others" No one is willing to pay attention to a novice's question, because the novice's question is too simple in their eyes and they don't want to explain it. A master teaches his disciples, but in the end he retains his skills, let alone strangers. Of course, if a friend is willing to give you some advice, it is a good choice to ask him humbly.
A very popular saying among female friends is "If a man can rely on you, a sow can climb a tree." There is no other meaning in quoting this sentence. It is just to let friends know the meaning of this sentence. Don't rely entirely on others to teach you how to learn.

What I also want to say is: "Cherish the number of times others answer" People's patience is limited, you must cherish this limit, don't ask all questions, some questions yourself Take the time to find the answer and ask. Every time you ask, the patience of others will be reduced. When you really need help, it happens to be the time when others are unwilling to answer you. You can imagine how much you have lost.

The suggestion is: "Have a question? Baidu it" I believe your friends have noticed that the questions you asked can be found in the search engine, and there are For detailed solutions, you can use search engines to find your own answers. Why ask others?
Currently, the largest Chinese search engine is baidu.com, the world's Google, and of course there are other search engines. You can't find any of them. Come on, try a few more, unless your question is the first to ask, then you are lucky, or it may be a problem with your "looks", haha, just kidding, don't mind, but this sentence is quite popular

I wish friends who are getting started with PHP can find a learning method that suits them and achieve early success!!
