PHP Help

In conjunction. Its beyond the scope of this website to explain in detail. I suggest you start small with HTML for Dummies first.

 

Or the NCSA Beginner's Guide to HTML... the original one and the one I read... although I don't know if now it notes which tags are deprecated with HTML 5.

Lil Pun, learning HTML from the get go, and coding without a WYSIWYG (pronounced "weesy wig", stands for What You See Is What You Get) editor will give you a foundation that will allow you to easily determine whether errors are in HTML or in PHP, whether you can handle something in CSS or in HTML, whether you can code a

HTML:

<P align="left">text</p> or a <P style="myLeftAlignedParagraph">text</p>

whether the IMG tag needs a closing tag or doesn't

HTML:

<img src="" />

and what you should and shouldn't do when nesting tags within each other. It's just solid foundation. It also teaches you to check yourself before you try to preview HTML.

Fore example, I didn't know why you were doing:

HTML:

<P />

Cascading Style Sheets is just a way to format existing elements in the page. With one line of CSS you can format the entire web page without using tags. With comas, periods, spaces, and hash marks you can manipulate what style you give to one, two, or ten tags in your HTML.

I get so many people asking me why their code doesn't work... when they can't even notice they're missing a closing TR or a closing TABLE tag. It's something easy to miss, but I can spot a missing closing tag or a missing quote like no one's business.
