Somewhere to find basic PHP syntax?

[Anon]

Hello,

I don't come from a programming background, but am starting to use PHP quite alot. I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of an online resource library for very simple things like syntax etc.

While I am at it, what is the syntax for OR ?

Cheers,

The syntax for OR is ||, AND is &&. With regards to syntax, read Ch. 2 of the manual.

A good place to start is http://www.php.net you can get some tutorials there and go ahead and download the php manual

the symbol for or is || even just using 'or' works

eg This ...

if($item1 == '$itemx' || $item2 =='$itemy')
{
code comes here;
}

is the same as...

if($item1 == '$itemx' or $item2 =='$itemy')
{
code comes here;
}

Thank you both, this has helped me considerable, and now I know where to find further documention as I learn PHP.

The manual from http://www.php.net will come in handy.

THanks again,
