sde: Thank you so much for the link and the info.
redhead: The breakdown of LAMP along with the links is very useful. I really appreciate it. Thanks alot.
I live in MD. I am open to learning this all on my own. I wanted to also take online classes (not sure yet if carriglearning offers that) if possible.
I am able to learn this full time as well and have already started doing so.
I just feel like I am missing something or doing it wrong. I have been doing PHP and MySql tutorials and I will be going through the links redhead posted today.
I tried implementing an instruction a tutorial gave me by going to my blank website page and on MS Frontpage, going to the HTML section and putting in the script the tutorial told me to and then I saved it, uploaded the site, and all I got back was the same script looking at me. No feedback form (which is what I was supposed to script/code) came to life when I uploaded the site and nothing magical happened as I thought it would. This is when I figured I must be doing it wrong and starting in the wrong place.
Is there a strong basic knowledge I need to know before I get into LAMP? Can I just straight learn PHP first without knowing HTML? As I have been trying it, I feel like I'm missing something.
Currently, I have a host (site5.com) and it makes it look easy to implement everything, yet I am unable to do any scripting/coding on my own via Frontpage, without it turning up in the same code format....and I am just starting out. I want to do so much with the sites yet all I can do is write on them and change the fonts like with MS Word.
