Yeah, as with all tutorials, you do need to use other sources and expand your knowledge via your own volition.

I'm self-taught In the computational sector, and whist It does take a lot of dedicated research, patience and time, the rewards speak for themselves. I started PHP using w3schools and then grabbed every bit of Info I could gather from all over the net.

Yeah actually I started with Newboston and then I was kinda disappointed with him...
So i heard about W3schools and basically I learned everything on there,,(HTML,JS,PHP,Jquery,etc) I hope I will be accepted on school I want to go, its really hard to get on it though...

Yes, I must say, w3schools Is an excellent starting point. It guides you from the very basics to the more advanced with very easy to understand tutorials.

Regarding your school, keep at It and don't take "no" for an answer. If you know what you're worth, go out and get what you're worth and let no one tell you otherwise.

If anything, w3schools is a terrible place to start, and should only be used as a reference. You can start from much better places, ranging from tinkering with code on your own to reading the official documentation.

Would you mind referencing the better places? You cannot tinker with code on your own, when you can't code to begin with.

In my views, those who're entirely new to PHP as a whole, will certainly find w3schools of benefit.

If you have a brain, you can easily tinker with code. Simply reading line-for-line, and seeing any output is more than enough, especially if you don't want to read documentation.

W3schools is outdated, and while their little sandbox idea (seemingly the most convincing reason to use w3s) is good, it isn't as good as testing on your own server. There are somethings blocked, for security measures, and it's best that users find these and test them on their own so they aren't oblivious to such. It can be an "okay" reference at best, there are much better places to learn, whether you want to agree or not.
