PHP Knowledge Quiz Sites or Games?

[SiGnatureâ„¢]

I know I keep going on and on about PHP coding and themes etc but I'm very keen in wanting to learn PHP.... I was wondering if there are any PHP knowledge based quizzes or games that can help a newbie going? I'm just starting to learn the basics of PHP and find it sort of hard to understand... like is there's any site which give you info then tests your knowledge at the end of that section, or some game... something like this?

Try google with "PHP knowledge based quizzes" I found one

My suggestion is rather old-fashioned, in the form of a book for php.

To me, nothing beats being able to read it and have it beside you for reference. I pick up a book, turn to about halfway, and read through the examples- if they're extremely simple at that point, I usually select something else.

After all, with php, they are many (many!) different ways to accomplish things with the code.

why not view the free video tutorial here

then you can do this online book--it is incredibally slow right now-it isn't always so slow

my method is chaotic, look at something close and keep modifying till you achieve what you want...you will learn plenty about parse errors my way

Well I agree and don't agree. If your maths is good, your logic is good which is the main part of a scripting language although that need not be true . You can be good at maths and bad at coding or vica-versa, its a matter of skill .

In general, it seems like the best coders are, for the most part, poor spellers...

But as for math & code, I don't necessarily agree either. It does take a logical mind to step through the code line-by-line, keeping variables in context with each step, and applying what *is* happening to what *should* be happening.
