Hello, I am wanting to learn php coding, I know basic html, didn't take too long for me to learn it, but now I use Frontpage for most of my html because of it's simplicity. I am wanting to learn php though. It seems thats the coding needed for osCommerce, and I don't know it, or have the money to pay someone to design it for me. Therefore, I need to learn a new skill. Anyone know some of the best sites to teach you php?

Thanks
Eric

www.sitepoint.com has loads of php tutorials get started with it here: http://www.sitepoint.com/article/php...1-installation

but for the love of god, throw away frontpage, and to start off with at least, hand code all your HTML, you'll have to anyway, to get down to the nitty gritty of PHP. Good luck

btw, you are using Frontpage because of its simplicity?
Maybe not the best idea

ARGH! Frontpage! Really, dump it, you'll be thankful in the long term.

As for PHP, I'm learning it myself just now. All the links above are topnotch, and I can highly recommend the O'Reilly books as a hands on learning aid.

ya, just buy some good books.

Beginning PHP4 - Wrox Press by Chris Lea and his band - very good position
