The source for PHP information.
Likely the best 3rd party site for PHP information and tools.

There is also alot of ASP tutorial sites out there.

www.ASP101.com is a great learning site.

My buddy learned PHP from http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/programming/php/ (www.webmonkey.com)

I would suggest buying a decent book. What type of web server are you running?

im just running it on my win2k box. im not trying to achieve anything in particular. i just want to have a play around with it and learn new stuff.

thanks for the extra suggestions.

Ladi hit the 2 best php sites.

If you are interested in ASP, check out www.4guysfromrolla.com. This site is HUGE. Also covers som JScript stuff and databases, heck, you should check it out even if you don't care about ASP.

yeh i have seen the 4guys site before. very nice site.

what is the overall difference between php and asp ?

are they both just two different languages which are used for doing more advanced stuff that is beyond the realm of normal html? or are there distinctly different situations that define when you should use one or the other?

thanks again! 🙂
