dear friend,can you tell me whether php must be used with html or not? can it be used alone. i'm a fresh learner,could you supply me some advices about learning php?
Seriously, get a web host that you can do some PHP work on, and start figuring out what you want to do, and then work out the functions you may need.
You can visit sites like: www.php.net, and www.phpbuilder.net, and www.phpfreaks.com, to help you with tutorials, etc.
