As far as I know, you have to become less of an idiot :p
You need to learn the actual mechanics of the language if you want to get anything done.
If you are trying to be an idiot, using Dreamweaver for PHP would definitely be a good way!
You should learn to code in a text editor, using a wysiwyg editor is the 100% half-assed way of doing it. I am told O'Reillys book on PHP is a great way to start, as well as php.net. :cool:
HTML Goodies is a good site for all beginner coding and scripting tasks. I've been learning a bit of HTML from it. The link I showed you goes directly to the PHP tutorial.
php.net is definitely the best on line tutorial. If you're running on Windows, you can use Editplus (Editor) and MySQLFront (instead of phpMyAdmin)
http://phpfreaks.com is pretty good.
that site is very good ;)Quote:
Using DW for php is not being an idiot, it color codes php for you. Not that other editors for free don't but hey. the WYSIWYG part of it doesn't even apply to the php side, only html/css. Next time try looking into it before saying something like that.
OK now for some actual helpful links...
anfpunk hit the best one on the head (cough thief cough)
some others...

Happy coding :)
