Looking for a WebDev

[AlienCG]

Hello all,

I am growing frustrated with the PHP language and am ready to throw in the towel. I have done extensive searches online and in bookstores for articles and books on making a content management system for a game, movie and anime review site, but I have found nothing that suits my needs. I was wondering where the best place on the Internet is for finding extensive articles for using PHP and MySQL for content management. I am not looking to make an e-commerce or members only site, just a way to easily display articles from a MySQL database dependent on what the user clicks on.

I would like to find a web developer to help out with this challenge, but I don't make money of my site, so I won't be able to pay. I can only give reference, reccomendation, and credit to this person.

Thank You,
Alien CoffeeGround

Hi,

Well, i think it was me suggested using php to you a while back for your games site so i'll help you if you need :) I doubt you'll ever find a book/article to suit your needs when it comes to programming ;) what I would suggest, however, is that you work small and build your way up (i started by btrying to work out a way to make a word appear on the page by putting stuff after a '?' on a url lol)


Sites for php:
phpfreaks.com
phphelp.com
phpbuilder.com
(you should find stuff on MySQL there)

Also check the PHP programming section of the forums, it's small but there's some good info in there :)

Thanks, I'll definitely check it out.

The "Site Update" on my home page is PHP, so I can get stuff to appear on the HTML pages, I also have all the forms for reviews and articles done so that the content is inserted into a MySQL database.

Look at the bright side, least you guys know php ;) I got SOOOOOOOOO many ideas for stuff but I know basic PHP and I already got to many projects to learn php so im kinda FuBar on that deal.

OK, I am no longer looking for anyone to help with the PHP. I figured it out last night and finished it this morning. I can't explain how I figured it out, I just did. Thanks for all the support and the links.
