Hello,

Your English skills are better than my skills at any Asian
Language, so no need to apologize.

You need to tell us what you are trying to write a PHP script for.
The only way people will know if a class or function is useful to you
ot not is if we know what you want to do.

Give some information about what you want to do, and you will be
more likely to get help.

Firstly ... welcome to the group - there are some incredibly
knowledgable people here - with so much time on their hands to help
out that I sometimes wonder if they sleep!

Secondly - your English is pretty damn good - considering we're
talking about technical things - hardly phrases that you might find in
a tourist's phrase book!

Lastly - I'd say you need to find a *real* project to try your PHP
skills on. It's the best way. Find someone that might benefit from a
database driven website or application and offer to do it for free.
That way they can't complain if it goes wrong - and you'll be the one
benefitting (in the long run) from your new skills.

One final bit of advice - use the PHP site itself. It's translated
into many languages - hopefully your native one too - but every
description of every PHP function has comments and additions from PHP
users below it. There's usually treasure there!

Amen to that, it's how I started. And for further learning, I try to answer
as many questions as I can on forums & newsgroups such as this. There are
always problems you haven't thought of, situations that pose a challenge.
Apart from the first free projects I'd say I've learned most from others
asking questions, and asking myself how I would solve the problem.

Comments on www.php.net are gold, indeed.

There are bunch of code snippets that will be more helpful if you
follow PEAR framework. Persoanlly, I don't like the PEAR and many other
frameworks. But, if you prefer quick coding, PEAR could be adopted.
