PHP Scripts

[Taz]

I am currently learning php and I am trying to build small scripts so that I can get some experience and level up my html/css and moreover my php. What scripts would be beneficial for me to build so that I can get a grasp on how forum scripts work? Or just scripts in general.<br /><br />-- Sat Nov 09, 2013 9:08 am --<br /><br />Any ideas?

Create a good CMS for your self, with good automated scripts jquery/javascript scripts.

Uploading images, drag and drop features, changing order of things etc.

Unfortunately, I have not begun working with neither jQuery, or javascript at the moment. At the moment, even a CMS would be way to advanced for me in PHP terms.

HTML email script.

If you can't master that, you will never know real PHP.

My first PHP Scripts is a simple images generators. I would suggest what Zain have suggest you. It is one of the easier scripts to code.

You can try a few things. Start small, don't rush into anything big.

Try these, for example:

• Password hashing (Don't use PHP's built in functions, make a good hash on your own. You won't want to do this in production applications, but it can be good practice.)
• PHP_GD library. Make some cool pictures. Take a query in the URL and make a picture with it.
• Adding onto the GD library, try to check out an API (weather, maybe?) and decode a response using json_decode() and put it into a picture. (Really easy!)
• Study up some mySQL and try a simple insertion into a database.
• After insertion, try removal.

That's about it for now.
