=> i have been put in a position to lead a PHP project => where a few interns (hired by the client). i gave them => my code to build upon. in response, i got bombarded => with basic questions such as 'what is $_SESSION ?' and => the like. => => can anyone recommend an online tutorial that will => explain all the necessary web development *basics* so => that i don't have to answer such questions one by one? => something that explains http protocol, request, response, => session, etc for newbies, ideally with PHP examples.. Don't fret! Just like every other PHP developer, they have to start someplace. Here's some resources that will help: http://www.php.net/links.php (actually ANYTHING at www.php.net is highly useful!) http://www.phphelp.com/ http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/programming/php/ And of course http://evolt.org/search/index.html?keywords=php Also, the O'Reilly books and the WROX books are pretty great, too!
