    You need to delete this message and rewrite PHP.

    Hi all, I just found this group, I'm trying to learn some programming and asked someone who made a page for D&D that I really like what he used, and he said PHP & MySQL, so it seems like a good place to start.

    His page if of interest: http://wizardawn.and-mag.com/

    I've dabbled with trying to learn Python (The Hard Way) got about 1/3 of the way through before I grew weary of it, not being able to do much, or figure out how to get in on a web page.

    I learned BASIC and was pretty good with it about 25 years ago, but haven't done much programming since. I've done quite a lot of dos/windows batch files and done some stuff with AutoHotKey. HTTP I was pretty good with about 20 years ago, haven't used
    it a lot, but it's come in handy at least recognizing it. I've done some stuff that probably looks more like using Excel as a database. I've been doing Desktop Support for about 10 years (should've moved on to something more advanced long ago).

    I just thought it might be good to discuss what I'm doing and see if anyone thought there might be better ways, or maybe it's just interesting, or maybe it'll just cement my understanding better if I talk about it.

    I haven't gotten to any PHP yet, I've been trying to install the stuff so I can 'develop' on my computer, which has Win 7 x64.

    I found this page which seems to be a start to installing everything at least:

    https://docs.moodle.org/29/en/Manual_install_on_Windows_7_with_Apache_and_MySQL

    I'm on day 2 of this.

    So far I keep ending up with mis-matching versions, x64 with x86 versions and it's not working yet. I got an error installing Apache where I had to stop IIS (which I don't remember installing, but the computer is a couple years old, and I may have
    installed it for python).

    No real questions yet, just getting this stuff off my chest, unless there's a far better way to do anything?
