Learning to Program - PHP/ SQL

1 points by thinkscrappy ↗ HN
I have contracted a development firm to create a website for a concept that my partner and I think can prove very successful. The site is almost done, but I want to be able to rework the site as the business grows without having to hire outside help. Can anyone suggest the best approach to learn how to program in PHP/ mySQL?

Sure, learn CodeIgniter- it's a PHP framework, and there is excellent documentation. You'll learn a little PHP & mySQL along the way, but the framework handles all the heavy lifting, and you can easily slip it under the (already completed) web page without much hassle.
