Well 18 months ago I started using MS Access for the first time. and with a lot of hard work and an immense amount of help from everyone here I built a decent database for the non profit I help run.
but unfortunately it has outgrown Access, or more accurately, should never have been built in Access (no local, or central server, and heavy on MAC users)
so I now need to start the process of turning this thing into a web type application and from the very little I know, I think that I understand the way to do that is through PHP.
but I am again starting at ground zero, and hoping someone might give me a good jumping off point, and maybe even a general path to follow. I have zero experience with HTML or PHP (but I understand the different concepts of the two) and have never actually learned an entire programing language. just snippets of different things, mostly vba, enough to get some things done.
i would like to know How much HTML I will need to learn, and should I conquer HTML before even looking at PHP?
or do I learn PHP first and then add HTML on top. or do they need to be leaned in tandem.
what is a good starting point for PHP for a complete beginner, recommended books, websites, tutorials.
I am just trying to find a way to get my first foothold.
any advise or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
and a sincere thank you to all the wonderful people here who take the time to help.
