How easy is it to code in PHP?
i love the way php pages look but i only know html and not to well...
 
PHP is just like any other programming language, it resmbles C a bit, so if you have no programming experience at all it can be daunting at first.
 
Sorry, but IMO VB is a step backwards =)

But since you have some programming experience it can't really hurt, go to php.net and check out the online manual, it'll probably give you an idea of whether you want to invest the time or not.

php has very little to do with the page look, html skills are more relivent.

if you know VB then ASP would be a good scripting language, though not if you intend to put the scripts on a linux box.

And not using a Winbox and IIS would be a good idea considering how much of a b!tch it is to secure IIS, let alone keep it that way.

It's not that hard, keep an eye on patches and disable any extras you don't want. Half the problems with IIS security is that most people goto as much trouble to install it as they would with PWS or office. If you can't handle reading a MS security bulletin then maybe you should leave running a webserver to someone who can??

Anyrate we where talking about a language not a websever, PHP runs under IIS and ASP runs under Apache so the webserver is irrelivent.

I realize that, but I know several people who thought they installed the patches and still got hit by CodeRed. And if I had the choice between the web server that requires I check for security patches daily or the one that's been secure for years, I'd chose the latter and save myself some time.

Not really, Apache has several ASP options (no COM though obviously, so it's basically VB scripting) and PHP runs under IIS.
 
Well, it seems pretty straightforward so far to me.

I'm just learning some basics myself. Hoping to put out a forum on my intranet that works like ANANDTECH, though I don't expect it will be as comprehensive, or have the smilie faces to start with! 😉

I was just checking this page out earlier today. Seems like an interesting place to keep up to date and get some newbie articles to supplement a textbook.

enjoy
