Real world PHP Situations

[barnes]

I've tried a few times to learn PHP, but never really get anywhere because everything I need is already a developed open source software.

Now for us beginners, can anyone reccomend some basic real world problems that PHP can solve so we have something to work on to learn?

Thanks!

for a real world scenario, let's say:

1. write a simple search script to search from a real huge database. Now, to make that *real huge* database, you can go to digg, there was recently a post about a guy who made a 'data generator'. cool thing though.

2. Make an authentication system. A wheel you'll have to re-invent many times during ur php-scripting run.

3. Make a small contributing system, where users put in things and take out things [not really like a cms/wiki.. those things are beasts of code]

hope it helps,

As a beginner you can do:

• File upload script
• Images resize script
• Guest book script (I've wrote a tutorial)
• Form data submission to mail
• MySQL results paging script

If you are more advanced:

• make users registration and authentication script
• Script a forum
• add security to your previously created scripts

I think that will be enough for you
