W3schools has a lot of good resources for many things including PHP. Their site is usually good if you follow their flow till you get a basic understanding. So when you click on the PHP link for the school, be sure to use the "Getting started link" at the top, although the reference links below stand out. (Oh, and I do find it a tad insulting that you learn php via .asp pages.... hehehe)

I would suggest that as you are learning, any time you come across a function you haven't used before, check out the PHP manual by going to http://www.php.net/function_name (ie http://www.php.net/substr for the substr() function.

The big things to get from those pages is the description, what you pass to it, and what it returns. Also, most functions have very good examples to demonstrate their use. Then also if you have time also visit the "related" functions.

Over the years I have learned a lot by clicking on "related" functions that I have never used before.

For me, I learn best by taking things like the examples on those pages, putting them on a server, and play with them and tweak them to experiment.

Good luck, and if you need any help ask away here, for best results, give a summary of what you are wanting to do, what you are getting instead, and what you have tried to get what you want. The more you give, the easier it is for others to help you learn Wink

The isset () function is used to check whether a variable is set or not. If a variable is already unset with unset() function, it will no longer be set.
