[WikiEN-l] Re: Learn PHP

[Sheldon Rampton]

Learning PHP is something that people can do on their own. I learned 
what I know about it by doing a Google search for the words "PHP" and 
"tutorial." Here are a couple of links that I have found useful:

http://webmonkey.wired.com/webmonkey/99/21/index2a.html?tw=programming

http://www.php.net/manual/en/

If you want to attract volunteers to help with coding, I think 
thoroughly documenting the project's existing code would accomplish 
more than trying to offer help learning PHP. People can get help with 
PHP from lots of places, but Wikimedia is the only place they can go 
to find specific answers about the MediaWiki codebase.
