Php

[!shira!]

I've choosen to learn PHP this summer. (I'm learning C++ too but that is a different story)

Could anyone lead me to some tutorial/documentation sites that they believe are high quality.


Second, PHP is object oriented right?

Kudos to you! PHP is my favorite web language - I wish I had more time to spend with it.

PHP.net is one of the greatest resources for learning PHP there is. It's an online reference for everything you ever wanted to learn about the language, coupled with user-supplied comments and suggestions all through-out.

And to answer your question - yes - PHP does provide the framework to build object oriented applications. In fact - the soon to be released PHP 4.3.0 features a new, finely tuned, Zend Engine 2.0, which provides many exciting additions to the world of OOP w/ PHP. The Zend Engine 2.0 offers a LOT more OOP functionality, and something I've been waiting for for a long...long time - exception handling! PHP will finally offer the ability to define try{} catch{} blocks which we've all learn to love with other more serious OOP languages such as Java.

Anyways, good luck with it. If you ever have any questions about the language, or want some code samples to help get you started feel free to post your questions here. Outside of myself, I know there's a growing number of PHP loyalists among these forums, yoshi273 being one of them (that guy knows his stuff, he lives & breathes PHP)

Thanks for our input.

If you have some code that I could look at I would appreciate it if you could get it to me. (pm me if you do and I'll get you my email)

That's cool, I decided to learn some PHP this summer, too! Haven't started yet though...
