I take your advice to heart. I have my own web-site which includes mysql (v4.1.20) , php (v5.0.4) and apache (v2.0.55). (These are updated about twice a year, so the actual versions could have moved on since I last looked.) I have been working with HTML and CSS and now I would like to learn PHP. I have quite a lot of programming experience (starting with Basic, but we won't talk about that!), the most recent being Python. I also have all three programs on my own computer (running Kubuntu Edgy). At the moment I have not worked out if it is possible to test any php files which I create, on my own computer. So I upload them to my web site and test them there. Well that's OK if there is no other way. I realise that I could do with a good book on PHP, but easier said than done. There are so many around, and I am just confused about which to choose. If you have any recommendations, I would be very pleased to hear them. I am not new to computing, but I am new to having a web site and all that that entails. And, I am always ready to be advised and guided by lug members, most of whom are way more skilled and knowledgeable than I will ever be.
