Learn PHP with a practical application You have heard all the PHP introductions, learned that you can read PHP, and have a few questions about syntax, but otherwise you are ready to go. Now you should get started with something that is usable, functional, and easy to learn. Trevor will show you a calendar application that can be used for both MySQL and DB2 and show you how to incorporate it into your existing applications. The original PHP code was open source, but it has been tweaked to suit the particular application. Since there are thousands of available PHP applications, this approach should help you understand where and how PHP fits into your company. And, having seen it in action, you will be able to find, tweak, and implement your own functional PHP application.
