[FIXED] How do I start off with programming in PHP?

Issue

The title may have sounded a little vague, but I did not know how to articulate the question.

I want to create a webpage that will contain links to other webpages. But, I want to make it a little modular and want to write all of the functions in one page and access it from the php script(webpage) that contains the part about displaying contents.

In short, I want to create a php page exclusively for displaying contents, and another for running the background functions.

Also, I have a LAMP architecture, and I just have the index.html page to begin with. How do I make it redirect to a php page?

Solution

First of all you should start exploring HTML, then Javascript, then PHP, then AJAX. Take one by one, using books, using other script sources, usign stackoverflow.com to get answers.

I learned all those steps in that order just by reading other peaople sources, exploring and testing then on my own.

Basic HTML is pretty simple if you know how is works.

Learn what can you do with javascript, of course, if you need it.

Your best friend for php is php.net as it will always answer most of the questions

These days javascript frameworks like jQuery simply tells you step by step how to do what you need.
