Anyone does know about PHP, Mysql ? or Anyone does know about its website ?
I interested in PHP, Mysql on Linux base.

Have a good day.

USFK Forums is build on PHP and the database is MySQL. They are both great FREE, open source software and very popular.

I am going to take a Java class soon then I will continue to learn PHP.

Then, Are you using a webhosting of some company ? or serverhosting ?
And Is there forum website on Linux base server ?
I also interested in PHP, MySQL. BTW, how's it to learn ?
Is it very difficult ?
I have my personal webpage on my Linux server at my home but
It's very simply webpage. So, I'd like to learn detail more about PHP,MySQL.
Most of website have made as PHP, MySQL you know....

I'm a Java programmer by profession, so I'll see if I can leave some tips.

The best way to learn either PHP or SQL (MySQL is a database and SQL is the language used to query the database) is to buy a book or find a tutorial online. I prefer books since they are often more in-depth then most tutorials. While you study the material, it is absolutely important that you actively try out the code while your learning. Just reading the material like a novel won't work too well.

As to how difficult it is, it depends more on your interest level and your technical ability. If your not really into it, your going to have an extremely difficult time. Based off your posts, I don't think you'll have a hard time learning it, though.

When I was in Korea, I believe I saw books for PHP and other languages written in Korean, so that's probably your best bet.

Good luck.

Thanks for the great info!

As stated, you can buy a book or find many tutorials online. You can download PHP and MySQL directly to your computer and work on it. Your computer can act as your server.

Here are some great sites to start with!

http://www.php.net

http://www.mysql.com

Those are the official websites. You can learn everything you need there. I own "PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Websites" by Larry Ullman.

Also, I just signed up for a Java class. From what I understand Java is for much larger, more powerful website. Just like ASP.NET. For instance, take a look at Ebay.com and you will see it is powered by Java and likely uses an Oracle database. Am I correct lakbum?

Thanks a lot. Mike !
I'll get help very much that website. But DB(database) is too hard to me.
BTW, where is your base ? and what do you do on your base ?

Thanks a lot for your messages.
yeah, right. There are a many books related to them in the book store.
But I'm afraid, I have no time bcoz of the business.
So, I have to find it on Internet, if i need it.
Programing is not my speciality but most of Korean IT engineers have to know a variety IT skills. We have to know all these such Windows, Sun solaris, HP UX, Linux, DB, Network etc......
BTW, Where are you live now ?

I would say that you are pretty correct...but don't quote me on that. Heh.

Simply, every language has its purpose and their own advantages and disadvantages. Many arguments arise from developers saying their language is better than another, and vice-versa. I believe that you should use whatever language that gets the job done for you.

I'm living and working in Virginia right now. I lived in Songtan and graduated from Osan HS and went to UVa here. I'm hoping to eventually going back to work there as a contractor.

I would say that ShSong was on the right track with the php/mysql question. In almost all instances with these two programs setup on your server, or if you have access to them through a web host. You can do anything with, even tie in all the javascripts you want.

Take for example these forums, they are created using the vBulletin php script that ties in with a mySQL database. There are 1000's of scripts out there that use these two languages that are secure, enterprise class and WAY cheaper (Free) than a lot of other technologies. I've used many of these over time and there is some great stuff out there. As far as ways to learn php, getting scripts and digging into how they were made has been quite helpful to me.
