PHP cookbook style websites

Hi,

I'm digging deep here to carry on my learning within PHP. I'm looking for websites that provide knowledge of how PHP programming concepts are used to solve problems? Or if anyone knows of any good resource sites other than php.net please do let me know, I would be happy to hear :)

Kind regards,

James

Hi James,

If you're looking for content that furthes the OOP examples used in Treehouse beyond the Cookbook example then I would urge you to look at the OOP Track for PHP here on Treehouse.

I'm not aware of any examples on the web specifically but there's at least 2 more examples of sites you could build on site using OOP on the Track. :)

Good luck!

Hey Jonathan, thanks, I will be sure to be looking at this once I'm done with the beginner php course. I'm just following on from the end of functions, where Hamilton suggested to work on a few things, such as build a web page that does simple calculations, which I've made.

He suggested to read cookbooks with php and to read up on the rest of the inbuilt functions, so basically building my knowledge up.

Kind regards,

James

thanks Henrik, that's what I'm thinking to get different aspects of PHP. What would you recommend in trying to build as a project?

Regards, James

This will be my main aim in the upcoming months, so build my own blog into a portfolio website. I guess that is both good learning steps :), do you have portfolio website at the moment ?
