What project is good for learning common functions?
 

I was thinking about making a project that would take me through a lot of the functions of PHP... Such as sessions, SQL, and some of the other things that I would need to use as some point, but wouldn't really use at this point.


I was thinking about a calculator, but... Well... It just seems too complex.

A simple member management system would make you go through many a basic MySQL functions as well as sessions handling and if you decide to do CAPTCHA validation it'll introduce you to GD it'll teach you the basics of functions and data handling.


Somethings to consider for a member management system

- Username/Email Validation
- CAPTCHA validation
- Deleting Users
- Registering Users
- Updating user data


Some of the more basics things, but It'll introduce you to a nice load of functions

A calendar with advanced features :-) !

Hmm... I like the first idea, but now where would I get some tutorials on that?

I can only name one website that I recommend for getting [mostly] anything you need for tutorials, and that is Pixel2lLife. Their are more, I'm sure other's will tell you.

I would recommend a image script with users, personal galleries, multiple file uploads, and an admin panel. That has the majority of basic functions that you will use from here on out.

oh...my...god...

Lets change this to SIMPLE stuff that I would use often O.o

I said a calculator would be a little complex xD.

I would attempt one of these things, but I would need to have one of you on call for help on MSN a lot xD.

What type of Calculator? I made a simple one just using $_POST, forms, and adding variables. :p

Well a simple one is easy... I am talking about one that can do everything a basic calculator can do, and I don't even know all the functions. (what is E+?)

E stands for exponent, try at least making the member management system, if you've question, this is a PHP forum.

hello world?:-D

a calculator should be easy enough

I agree a calculator is always fun to make :-D
