PHP

[whase]

so I have this project at school, we need to build a website using PHP.

we are working in groups of 3 or 4 people and have all chosen a project leader inside our groups.

now the leader of my group says I shouldn't try to learn PHP, but just need to look on the internet and ask on forums for parts of the codes.

I've been searching for a long time but since I don't understand PHP I don't know what's usable. (I'm supposed to find out how the site can be modified without writing inside the code, but just by logging in)

any help? I'm kind of late and need to be done by next week

PHP isn't bad...let me see if I can track down some good sources. I'm no expert in it...but I know some.

PHP Homepage: http://php.net/

PHP Documentation: http://www.php.net/docs.php

Best Source: http://www.w3schools...PHP/default.asp

W3 is responsible for making the HTML Standard.

I'm not sure what you mean by this: I'm supposed to find out how the site can be modified without writing inside the code, but just by logging in.

Just logging in lets you modify a site without modifying the code that runs the site?

thanks, Hatari ^_^

I meant like changing settings, passwords and stuff like that

[Hatari]

Hmmm, yeah, not really sure how to do that...without changing the code, sorry.

Is the PHP linked to a Database at all...or is it just an HTML webpage?

it's linked to a database, yes.

How's the project? Did you find anything useful?

I've made a deal.

I'll make all documents, write stuff etc.

and the other members of the group will do the programming.

maybe not the best way, now I might get trouble later on in my study, but at least I'll get through this year.
