   Is this tutorial any good?
  I came across this tutorial and I noticed it is under development so there could be errors and such but I have a friend wanting to get into PHP and was wondering if this tutorial was good to get started with:http://www.stvproductionz.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5   
  I guess.  The two people who've voted for it at this point apparently liked it.  Errors?  Tutorials almost always have errors, and if your friend finds one, he/she can ask and we'll point in the right direction.Cool?PS: I don't know PHP.  The above is generic advice.   ;  It's pretty primitive, and I dislike the way he deals with strings - rather than echo "$something"; I'd prefer echo $something;, and if I needed to include one string in another I'd use concatenation - echo "My name is " . $something; - or curlies to make it clearer - echo "My name is {$something}";One big problem (that isn't personal preference) is that it assumes that register globals is enabled - an old and nasty feature of PHP that is now disabled by default, and so his code won't work.To access variables posted from a form, you should use the $_POST superglobal array, like this (replaces the simpleout.php posted in his thread):simpleout.php <html> <head> <title>My Simple PHP Form</title> </head> <body> My first name is: <?php echo $_POST['firstname']; ?><br /> My last name is: <?php echo $_POST['lastname']; ?><br /> </body> </html>
