Although this forum is provided by Adobe, the people who
provide help
here 99% of the time are not Adobe employees. It's a
user-to-user forum,
where people give up their spare time to assist others. Even
Adobe
Community Experts receive no payment for the assistance we
give.
The fact that you have spent a lot of money on Adobe software
is no
guarantee of a reply or solution to your problem. When I log
into the
forum, there are usually dozens of new posts. I look for
clear subject
lines that give me a good idea what the post is about. If
it's an area
that I'm knowledgeable about or have a particular interest
in, I'll take
a look. If the question or problem is well explained, I'll
try to
answer. If it's vague or contains 100 lines of code, I'll
usually pass
it by.
Good subject line and clear questions are certainly a way of
improving
your success in getting questions answered. Another thing to
remember is
that this is a Dreamweaver forum. A lot of your questions are
about code
in Larry Ullman's books. I have no idea if Larry runs a
forum, but some
of your questions would be more appropriate in a dedicated
PHP forum.
You have asked for recommendations of PHP books. I have
already told you
about mine. I suspect the reason you haven't been overwhelmed
with other
suggestions is because many people here rely on Dreamweaver
to create
the code for them. I don't read beginner-level books any
more. The one
PHP book that I rely on is "PHP Programming" by Rasmus
Lerdorf and Kevin
Tatroe. However, it's not a "how-to" book. It's more like a
dictionary
or grammar book.
