Learning PHP for MOODLE

Learning PHP for MOODLE

Is there any specific resources for learning PHP programming specifically for MOODLE. I know HTML, CSS quite good - but this PHP seems to be a mystery. Would learning general PHP programming give me a good idea of what is going on in MOODLE.

For example, today, I wanted to just change the link at the bottom of the Login Block...in html this is really easy.   PHP it seems to be a mystery...

I just want to change the link from going to the Signup.php page to the Index.php page in the Login folder so I can give extra instructors... OR add some instructions tot he Signup.php page...

Any thoughts? Thanks

Good luck bro,

Moodle is VERY tricky to start figuring out. Learn PHP outside of moodle, and work your way in, is my advise.

MAKE SURE you learn Object Oriented Programming for PHP before jumping in to Moodle.

@Andrew, Just to contradict...blinker

Most of the PHP I know I learnt through Moodle, not outside of it. And I still have only very vague notions of Object Oriented Programming.

But then I'm only an amateur programmer.

Hey that's awesome! I guess jumping strait in to Moodle can work, but holy smokes, that must be a steep learning curve.

I'm a professional coder now (says me), I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around Moodle.

around line 32

                $signup = $wwwroot . '/login/signup.php';
change to

                $signup = $wwwroot . '/login/index.php';

You are a genius! Thanks so much. It work perfectly. I tried changing "signup.php" to index.php down at the bottom but not where you suggested... Thanks so much!
