I dunno, PHP is pretty damn useful for loads of things, especially for dynamic websites that want to load resources or tables from somewhere else without relying on AJAX, or don't want the end user to actually see your script's source or configuration (unlike HTML/CSS/JS, PHP is server-side, so the end user will only ever see it's output, not source).

OP said they wanted to learn, so I don't see why they wouldn't prepare themselves a sandbox to play and learn in that's pretty close to what they'd get with a remote server.

Using XAMPP is literally just doing the default installer settings and pressing the start button in terms of difficulty.

Quote from: moot on October 18, 2024 04:01 AMYou only need a browser + code editor like Visual Studio Code or Notepad++ (google it). You can use windows notepad, but you will torture yourself if you do use it to code.

You can serve HTML and script with just a browser, but anything involving PHP is going to need a server to listen to calls. Visual Studio can do this, and it's simple, but it's not really similar to how a production environment behaves. Using a service to handle spinning up Apache and MySQL just like how a web server would do it is pretty helpful to minimize how much fiddle you need to put in once you move beyond just testing stuff out.

Before you jump in the deep end and put something online, experiment with making something locally and hosting it on your own machine. Lets you learn without any of the strings and limitations that come with setting up something on a hosted server.

Docker and XAMPP are the ones I've personally used before (with XAMPP being what I use to serve to the rest of my LAN). XAMPP is going to be pretty similar to what you'd encounter in most web services, since Apache is like 40% of the normal web.

Here's a shitty userstyle to darken the forums while we wait for God to bless us.

If it breaks anything, rant and rave at your postman, he'll know what to do.

I rather like the dark theme.

PrettyHentaiPanties-PHP
Really the only language i've got experience with besides Python. Made an image indexer and booru with tag support in PHP, SQL, and some JS. I really didn't like how other people's Booru's were set up.
[spoiler]Though it was really only a pet project, and eventually I let it die.

-Edit-
for funzies, I threw up a mirror, though i think the php version is wrong, so it's probably horribly broken
