What do you mean by a PHP layout?

i dont mean completely php but having a page with like php and html integrated. But using php as much as possible

Well, what do you want the PHP to do??

i wanna use it to have counters, chat boxes and mess around with images

Just PHP in general then.

Well, I'm not sure of any online tutorials, but no doubt google.com will find some good ones.

I used a book myself 'Sams teach yourself PHP in 24 hours'.

You obviously think what I used to think...

PHP just integrates into the page, you write a HTML page and use snippets of PHP around the page to give it special features like users online.

That's the stuff I've been working on recently, although 90% of it doesn't work!

The page is written in HTML with tags around it, I just use the same template for each page and change the php include so that it includes more stuff.

www.webmonkey.com is where I learnt the basics, then just read through that PHP help topic and you can learn some helpful stuff from there...

Once you get the hang of the stuff it becomes a lot easier to understand, it's just quite confusing trying to write your own code from scratch.

You learn ALL that stuff you know in 24 hours?!?!?

:c)

i have that book as well...i found that it doesnt teach you how to do stuff it just teaches you the stuff. if yuo understand that.

There's one thing I love about PHP though.

When things work they work excellently. Although when things go wrong, it's a complete disaster!

Stupid email thingy...
