Any PHP developers in here?

[Mister.Right]

Is there any good php developers in here? I am working on website using existing scripts. I want make some changes but can't read the code. Would not take much time to learn PHP, but I dont feel want to learn this language. I am overhead with 4-5 language already, kind of hard to keep up to date 4-5 language and syntax.

Me. Depends on complexity of code tho.

I also am able to understand basic php, but im not too clued up on all the default functions

Why not try learning in a logical sequence what to do for web developemnt?

Yeah you don't wanna learn it, but you want ot make a website right?

If you want to do web development, you should learn PHP, and also:

MySQL (SQL in general but MySQL is popular),

html of course,

CSS,

Javascript,

database theory, on how to optimize a database and how to build it right.

regular expressions,

Jquery,

security measures (this is a constant learning playground)

maybe Java...

As you can see, there are a lot of things to learn than PHP to build a website.

Tweaking an existing code you do not understand in order to create a site, will not do.

You just make something to cover your needs FOR NOW.

Asking for someone else to do it, will not do again.

Are you using a CMS by any chance? Or did you used copy- paste code?

If you want to make jist a simple page, why not learning Wordpress?

There are lots of step by step videos out there that can teach you that.

Wordpress has a ready framework that helps you build a site, tweak it and maintain it easier.

Of course tweaking Wordpress code is another story. You fall on the first option.

It is easier to work with it though, instead of learning software engineering.

How would you want to help me? Would you like to team up with me for making the site? If that site ever makes profit it goes to you. It is actually a video sharing site. I bought the script but the script  has bugs and has no idea how to fix it unless I learn PhP.

As I said, I don't want to learn another language at the time. I do know develop website. I am a developer. We develop a more complex than php website. The language we use are for enterprise; Oracle PL/SQL, Java, JSP, JS, Spring Framework, Hibernate...etc. It is not feasible to use these stuffs for small site. I could build my own Java website but consider how much time you know it would take to get it up and running. The server is also expensive too.

Hey thank but knowing the basic I don't think can help me solve bugs.

 

[KockaAdmiralac]

Me also.

Although I'm not a master at PHP.

You can see my old site in PHP here (not that I want to advertise myself) : https://kocka.dilfa.com

Skip the warning message, and select the English option.

The new site is http://kocka.dilfa.com (the link is very similar, just the link above is https:// and that is causing the warning message), and it's in Ruby on Rails.

The point is, PHP is good when you start, but maybe you'll later want to switch to some other engine, like Ruby on Rails or Django.

Cool, I will contact you after work. I can get as much help as I can. Yeah, I know php is not scale, but I am running this website as hobbies/personal use. To save my time I bought a script out there but it has too many bugs and the admin back end is frustrated to manage the contents.

You should have told us before your background. It is good to know that use can use these stuff.

You said it is not feasible to use these for a small site. 

Since you are a developer, you should already know that what you said to me makes no sense, if I just have two words describing it as "small site". 

A small site can be from just plain HTML to a joomla running project (joomla can be taught fast and can create good stuff).

Since @KockaAdmirakac is willing to help you out, I wish you both good luck.  

"To save my time I bought a script out there but it has too many bugs" 

Oh my... That was sad to hear about. 

Never pay for soemthing before you make sure it works!

I developed an app for a customer, the customer demanded the application to work on every PC they had. I had to do some updates and stuff (old PCs)  but it finally worked and I was paid. I was not annoyed by that demand though. It was rational. "I buy something, I expect it to work out of the box".

You can also ask me if you like,

I am pretty skilled with Php because I have to mantain many sites of my company, and I have piles of legacy code I have to convert.
