Don't worry. Internet is now filled with PHP+MySQL sites and till someone scraps them all, you have a job in this field.

BTW What is your qualification? If you want to get into full time job in Web Development, choose J2EE or similar. Will help you more.

Ya man, go for it..!! :D

I get 4-5 calls per week from monster, naukri etc. for PHP + MySQL.

BTW, they also look for comfortability in CMS like Joomla, Drupal etc. along with Framework like CakePHP. So after you learn PHP + MySQL spend some time on them.

First of all thanks for your suggestion!

Actually, first i inquired about J2EE, but i couldn't afford that much of fee, so i changed my plan.

I have done Diploma in Computer science(6 years back), and now am pursuing Bsc. in Information Technology in the 5 semester.

Well, depends on you. Many peoples learn it themselves by getting books. I learned the basic from CMC, it took 3500/- and after that various books and online resources.

@devgujar & @krishnandu.sarkar

Yes W3schools website is wonderful!

I am practicing thru that website now. Can you help me out with similar websites which offer info on CMS(drupal) and frameworks(CakePHP).
krishnandu.sarkar

Refer their own docs for frameworks.

And for CMS, just use it, and you'll figure it out automatically.

Isn't Coldfusion better than Php?

Every language has it's plus & minus points. Coldfusion is a paid one with a closed community. Not advisable! :idea:

For a job, PHP is the best. As long as it goes about the database, I'm really not sure which language's is best?

Hi all. Even I am learning PHP from W3School and ebooks. But the biggest prob according to me is, how to practice? I mean the way we learn things, isnt used used in the pages or sites. Those are many times advanced.

If learning is at stage 1 then php codes used in sites is at say above 5.
So how to practice and increase the stages. For those who are learning from any institute, their instructors can help them. But what about individual learners?

How do we get to practice? I have tried the freelancer sites but even there I find projects generally start from say level 3.

I am sure any PHP-MySQL learners will agree with me.

Plz help me.

Thank you all.

PHP is the best language to learn and opt it as a career. It has great scope as facebook, yahoo and many more are using this language. The combination of PHP and MySQL can be used to develop windows and create dynamic interactive websites. Moreover, it will serve on Unix Platform.
The MySQL is used to save and fetch the data. MySQL plays an important role in PHP and it will make a good profile of the two language in an industry.
