One of PHP\u2019s greatest attributes is that it\u2019s a freely distributed <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Open Source\" rel=\"wikinvest\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wikinvest.com\/concept\/Open_Source\">open-source<\/a> language, so there\u2019s all kinds of excellent reference material about it out there, which means that once you understand the basics, it\u2019s easy to find the materials that you need to push your skills.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/element321\/php\">php<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beginnersphp.co.uk\/\">Beginners PHP : tutorials,source code, books, downloads, hosting and links for php developers<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">Lots of code examples and PHP tutorials for beginngers<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/css-tricks.com\/php-for-beginners-building-your-first-simple-cms\/\">PHP for Beginners: Building Your First Simple CMS | CSS-Tricks<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s safe to say that nearly every website that\u2019s up-to-date these days is using some form of <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Content management system\" rel=\"wikipedia\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Content_management_system\">content management system<\/a> (CMS). While there are a ton of great free options that provide us with a CMS to power a website (<a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"WordPress\" rel=\"homepage\" href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\">WordPress<\/a>, <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Drupal\" rel=\"homepage\" href=\"http:\/\/www.drupal.org\">Drupal<\/a>, etc.), it doesn\u2019t hurt to peek under the hood and get a feel for how these systems work.To get our feet wet as back-end developers, we\u2019ll be creating a simple PHP class that will:<\/p>\n<p>* Create a database<br \/>\n* Connect to a database<br \/>\n* Display a form with two fields<br \/>\n* Save the form data in the database * Display the saved data from the database&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/element321\/php\">php<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/element321\/DesignCommunity%2C\">DesignCommunity,<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smashingmagazine.com\/2010\/04\/15\/php-what-you-need-to-know-to-play-with-the-web\/\">PHP: What You Need To Know To Play With The Web &#8211; Smashing Magazine<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">\n<p>Introduction to the&#8221;fundamentals of PHP.

You can find a lot of great PHP info on the Web, and most of the time you will end up on PHP.net itself.
