I Want To Create A PHP Text Based Web Game

[expert_winxp]

am new to programming and although HTML and php , it's similar forms I already know, I would like to learn PHP but I have no clue where to start.

I have been playing this game online for over a year now, and I have yet to find anything similar, so I want to take a jab at creating it. The game is www.thecrims.com and in my mind and i get bored and have tried several other game that are similar but they in no way compare, if anything they look like hacked up copies of KoC and with lots of bugs too.

I would like to try to make my own game similar in the general format but my own style and ideas and and well in no way shape or form similar to the game other than the way in which you interact with it. I know this sounds confusing but I am hopeing that someone can understand what I am trying to say and maybe point me into the right direction to start my online game

Thanks

Search google or any search engine for tutorails on html, php and mysql. one site having alot of good tutorials is codewalkers.com


I really recommend starting on the very basics on programming. So you get to understand how html, php and mysql works with eachother.

Im new to this forum, but this seeems to be a good resource as well.

http://www.tizag.com/ is good.

I often Google for a PHP function and it leads me to PHP.net first of all.  I read all the long-winded drivel on there, see the posts from the experts trying to outdo each other and then go to Tizag for an English explanation.

I bought a book which described how to make a shop in php and mysql- that got me pretty used to basic functions in the two, and from there I started using more complicated functions from php.net.
