I just finished updating my company website and it came out perfect. I'm using XHTML 1.0 Strict DOCTYPE styled with CSS. I also used Evrsoft Firstpage 2006 which helped me out a ton with finding errors and formatting the source code so I can read it. I learned a lot working with the strict doctype (My first attempt at a professional website) and I want to move on to more programming if it's only for personal knowledge. There are 2 things I want to achieve, one (Most important) is using PHP so I can use forms properly and the second is to maybe open up my own business selling website templates.
I also had to make sdjustments to a small block of code for a counter I got for free because it contained markup which is not allowed in Strict doctypes. I was able to remove the markup and style the counter with CSS and it came out perfect.
The only reason I'm mentioning this is because that is the extent of my computer programming skills. XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS..................lol
My next task is to learn PHP (I decided against Javascript in favor of PHP) and I will probably install a server on my computer (On a seperate hard drive) so I can work with the scripts. I noticed Bluehost has PHP applications that call be installed and obviously I have no idea what they do yet. I found a website that has lessons I can take and they said I sould install PHP, Apache 5.0 and MYSQL on my computer. Now onto to the questions!!
Does Bluehost have any PHP scripts for forms that I can practice with or will I have to create them myself??
Does Bluehost use Apache and if so what version is it??
I setup this thread because I might be using it a bit with questions I have.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer!!!!
