Answer 1

You don't need to know anything really to learn PHP. You can pick it up with zero experience, but it would be pretty challenging.

PHP uses the same basic principles that most programming languages do. It is not as big on the Object-oriented aspect as .NET, but that is still there to a degree.

Knowing another language will definitely help you along your way, but like I said...you could start on PHP if you were all about it. The only other thing you need to know to use it effectively is SQL (although you can use PHP without it, but using it with SQL is pretty much the entire point).

PHP is is a good language because it is the primary language to create dynamic content on a Linux served website. Linux hosting is cheaper, and thereby more popular amongst smaller scaled sites, and a wide array of web applications (most free and open sourced, giving you a lot of code to work off of while you are learning).

Answer 2

i am coding in php without any .net knowledge at first it might be a bit confusing but you will get the hang of it.  if you are good with code.

this site helped me alot.

I like php because I can use mysql with it and have a database.   I love databases.  and i built my login system with php. give it a try.

Answer 3

PHP can work on both *nix and Windows.

You don't have to have .NET experience to program in it. It is very C-like to program in.

It is usually used in tandem with MySQL, but can connect to Oracle as well.

Answer 4

PHP is to ASP (and ASP.NET) as

C is to Visual Basic

One of the greatest things about PHP to me is that the libraries are almost entirely the same as standard C/C++ libraries; which I've used for the last 20 years.

The next best thing is that PHP is Linux based, so if you can program in PHP, you can host your web sites for MUCH, MUCH LESS than if you require all that .net stuff.

Then there is MySQL, open sourced, which also makes hosting cost less. If you use PHP, you are likely going to use MySQL rather than SQL Server (very pricey).

I programmed in the Microsoft environment for most of my career. Microsoft is a business and a very profitable one. The main problem with this is that as developers, we have to constantly learn new development environments or Microsoft has nothing to sell us. I'd prefer to get very good at PHP and use that for my clients rather than learn ASP (which I know), then ASP.NET, then C#, then whatever else Microsoft needs to develop in order to keep us buying development pacakages.
