Talk about how novices learn PHP

Before I talk about my own learning methods, I would like to say something from my heart to those who hope to get useful information from my articles:
A silent article will not play a substantial role in your learning. Will you be successful? , you have to rely on yourself, persistence, persistence, persistence is the only way to success.
I will first summarize my own process of learning PHP:
(1) Be familiar with basic elements of web pages such as HTML/CSS/JS. At the completion stage, you can create a complete web page by yourself and be familiar with element attributes
(2) Understand dynamics The concept of language, operating mechanism, and familiarity with PHP syntax
            (3) Learn how to combine PHP and HTML to complete simple dynamic pages                                                                     using using using using using using      out out out out out out out out out of ’'s ’ ’s ’ through ’’  ‐   ‐ ‐‐‐‐‐ (4) Continuously consolidate and understand most of PHP
​ ​Common functions, and understandable OOP, MySQL optimization, and template (6) to complete a full -featured dynamic site
My set of lines may coincide with many enthusiasts learning PHP. process, but novices should not read the above summary and think that learning is quite simple. Momo Mo has to pour some cold water on you. Nothing is actually simple. Even the sesame cakes in the snack bar cannot be made in one go. .
　Let me first explain my learning ideas.
　First of all, after understanding the concept of website, it is not difficult to see that any website is composed of web pages. In other words, if you want to complete a website, you must first learn to make web pages. Therefore, you must master HTML to lay the foundation for making websites in the future.
　I think learning while doing is the most effective way to learn HTML. Of course, this method is also the most effective way to learn PHP.
　Any element in HTML must be practiced personally. Only after you understand what effect an element will have, you will remember it deeply. Blindly reading books will definitely not work. I think the reason why most novices find the concepts difficult Learning mostly consists of one word "lazy". Laziness is the biggest enemy that prevents progress. Therefore, only by overcoming the habit of laziness can you learn something faster.
Perhaps when you are learning PHP, you just want to develop a website as quickly as possible, and you will also think of me making a website. Why do you need to learn such trivial things as web pages? It is not difficult to see that there are many novices who have high ambitions but low ambitions. This kind of thinking is undoubtedly building a castle in the air. If you don't build a foundation, how will you get a roof?
　OK, mastering the production technology of static web pages is a prerequisite for learning to develop websites. This point will not be discussed here. Because this article is not a tutorial article, it will not provide an in-depth analysis of the technology.
I assume that you can now complete a static page. Of course, whether it looks good or not is another matter. Momo’s first webpage is not good either, but no matter how ugly the "child" is, we are "parents" You can't dislike it, right? After all, this is our achievement.
　So let’s start learning the concept of dynamic language. Many people may be confused when they first come into contact with dynamic language. Why is this messy thing different when it is displayed on the web page? In fact, this is not a mess. Isn’t the HTML code you write also a bunch of characters? After all, the code is not output directly, but processed. To put it bluntly, HTML passes through the HTML parser, and PHP of course passes through the PHP parser. It is the same as learning HTML. If you want any parser to To accomplish operations, you must use their specialized syntax constructs, so it's no wonder that PHP looks strange.
　 The understanding of PHP is the most difficult threshold for novices to cross, but you should feel lucky that PHP has tried its best to cater to novices. If you have learned other languages, you may find that PHP is indeed quite simple. But if you have never learned anything before, then bite the bullet and think about it.
　You will naturally become familiar with it after reading it three times. This simple truth tells us that even if you can’t understand PHP, you must first become familiar with it. Read it, read it over and over again, think about it while reading, and follow what it teaches. When coding, even if you don’t know what those codes are for, at least you should get a feel for it.
After a period of struggle, you smart person has obviously gradually become enlightened and slowly understood the concept of programming. Congratulations, you have taken the first step to success.
　If you understand the concepts of HTML and PHP, then mixed programming of PHP and HTML should not be a problem. During this period, you can let PHP calculate for you how much one plus one equals, and then output it in the browser. Don’t feel naive. This is true. It's just like the Apollo moon landing. You typed a small piece of code, but it took a big step forward in your programming journey! Excited? But I have to pour some cold water on you, you are still a rookie.
　After you have been happy for a while, you must continue to work hard. The next step is to learn databases. MYSQL can be regarded as the golden partner of PHP. However, even though that is said, you may also want to eat MYSQL alive, because this row and column thing Dong simply made himself dizzy.
　Dizziness is dizziness, and dizziness is dizziness. You can’t bite your tongue while eating and then stop eating, right? Put down your fear and keep working hard. We are here to conquer it, not to be conquered by it. Cheer up, comrade.
After a lot of struggle, you finally understand the concept of database, and what makes you excited is that you can finally connect to the database through PHP. How you learned it during this period, we will not verify it, but it turns out that, You already can.
　You who have learned PHP and database are undoubtedly holding MOTOLOLA in your left hand and NOKIA in your right hand. Be more chic and chic, haha, I finally learned it, but maybe at this time, someone will inadvertently pat you on the shoulder and say :Dude, don’t be too happy, you are still a rookie and there is still a long way to go before you learn!
When you work hard and learn to successfully insert, delete, and update data using PHP, it is obvious that you are just around the corner from success.
　At this time, you may be in this state:
　Do you know HTML? Yes, I can edit several web pages with large tables and layouts!
　Do you know PHP? Yes, I will write the operation of one plus one in the function and then call it!
　Do you know MYSQL? Yes, I will insert and delete my information in the database
Then, what should you do next? I think if you give your skills a try, you’ll probably be fine. Then I’ll give you a task and make a guestbook. This is comparable to HELLO WORLD! ^_^, it is also the first hurdle faced by novices.
　After a while, you finally learned to insert the form data into the database and then displayed it. It should be said that the prototype of a program has been born.
　However, you may look at this forum, that CMS, and that CRM. When should I write one?
Don’t be anxious, it can be said that your horse stance is almost done, and it’s time to start practicing the postures. If possible, use a pen or print a simple PHP manual on you, and touch it out from time to time. Look, remember, don’t miss it even if you go to WC (^2^).
If you have the conditions, buy this book and read it. "PHP+MYSQL WEB Development (Third Edition)" is known as the Bible, (maybe a good choice) (Disclaimer: The author did not give me any benefits, and I am not a book trustee. , from all this distance, I have never even met his brother in person -_-)
After consolidating my knowledge and becoming familiar with the essentials of PHP and MYSQL development, I will look back at the guestbook you wrote, You may wonder if it was really written by you? Of course, if there is a ghost in the house, maybe it was written by it -_-
At this time, your guestbook should have registration and paging functions, and if you If it is stronger, the UI (user interface) can also be enhanced. After completion, do you feel a special sense of accomplishment? Anyway, we have written a dynamic website program, let's play with it on our own website, and it will be good. Friends, come and take a look, hey, let’s see how good our writing is, and then we’ll promote it online.
A few days later, you open the guestbook, eh? Wow, N number of pages pop up at once! Obviously, your guestbook is not there! Take good security precautions. You were tricked a little by using JS code. I sympathize with your feelings at this time, but there is no other way. Keep working hard!
You work hard and become familiar with security issues, and then I have designed some programs, and they feel pretty good.
　So, now you have learned it? NO, NO, NO, it’s still early. You haven’t touched OOP yet, right?
　Well, let’s learn it? ! Keep learning and learning. After learning this, you have learned how to generate static web pages. Now you should be exposed to XML. Well, you also understand XML, so you also need to be exposed to AJAX... Then you are done with AJAX? ...
　In short, you will never find that you have learned everything. Some real strong people will always come up with new things to throw to you. If you don’t learn, you will fall behind. This also confirms the experience of the predecessors. It really is learning. Endless!
I think through my YY, you should be familiar with some of the learning process. Maybe my process has some solutions to yours, but no matter what, it is the same goal. I write so much just for everyone. An opportunity to learn from, as for whether it is good or bad, I dare not guarantee it^0^
After reading it, you will find that it is so wordy and of no use to me. I know how to learn, but I want to be better. Quick learning, quick learning in one week, ah no, 24 hours quick learning, Momo, do you have it?
I... I don’t, but I’m pretty sure I’ll put you in the hospital within 2 minutes - _-
　When learning something, never expect a quick fix. It tells you a way, but if it lacks the hard work, it will be in vain.
But one thing I can guarantee you is that if you learn PHP, you will definitely learn other languages ​​​​quickly. The same is true in reverse, if you have learned other languages ​​​​before, then you will definitely learn PHP quickly.
　However, grammar is easy to learn, but how to use grammar to achieve everyone has their own way, almost everyone has their own merits. However, it is definitely beneficial to learn from other people's successful codes. Therefore, looking at classic codes that have been refined over time is the best way to advance.
　After talking so much, I just want to say: Learning PHP requires not only mastering the method, but also sweating. I don’t want to see people giving up midway. Believe in yourself, your choice, and your own ability. If you want to give up and be more violent, just slap yourself in the mouth and yell: Others can do it, why can't I? (Doesn’t it sound like Coach Yama? It’s true that Mo Mo has watched too many movies and it will hurt if he slaps his mouth. You just need to understand this truth.)
Another thing I want to remind you is to resist temptation, ASP/PHP/JSP/ The comparison of .NET may make you at a loss. You may have learned half of PHP and start thinking about C# again, or someone may say that JAVA is very strong. At this time, you must not be swayed. Even if you really want to learn, you must learn PHP. . Then learn again. The most undesirable thing is to change your mind when you see something different. This is the principle of being a loser and breaking the corn. If you often give up midway, you will gain nothing and waste a lot of time and experience. The gain outweighs the loss. The most important thing is that you will be looked down upon by others. , no one likes to make friends with people who have different ideas, because such people are too restless and unreliable. Therefore, you must force yourself to achieve your goals, even if it may be uncomfortable, you must persevere. This is how perseverance is exercised. from.

The above has been introduced to talk about how novices learn PHP, including various aspects. I hope it will be helpful to friends who are interested in PHP tutorials.
