Does anyone know of a simplified php tutorial resource that just lists
legal
code examples?

For example:

****
To print to a page:
echo 'hello world';
****

Seems like everything I can find gets me bogged down in writing a long
sample program, teaches mysql, spends two lessons telling me what I need
to
run php, or follows the history of inventing php, etc.

I'm sure I'll need that stuff later, but right now I just want to
experiment
in a hurry.

Thanks in advance.

Lots of the instruction books point to MySQL information, since that is a
popular method for storing and retrieving information. Running an "echo()"
command on a plain string of text is also sort of a waste, since you can
simply
do that with HTML, without getting PHP to parse information.

I know. That was just one example.

PHP has a lot of applications, but you're basically using it to generate
dynamic
content on a web page. Maybe you need to find an application, for
something you
can use, and learn how to do it.

Ironically you may find yourself looking for basic SQL commands to learn
how to
use the MySQL functions in PHP to store and access information.

Thanks, Tom. I hear you, but I remember listings for BASIC and Fortran. For
the way I like to learn - jumping in and doing - it helped a lot. It helps,
because once I know something I see no end of ways to apply it.

Must be something like that for php out there somewhere.
