Why learn PHP??

I don't think I'm the only one feeling a little lost with PHP at the moment, so here are some points that might boost enthusiasm and justify the headaches!

1. PHP has very similar syntax rules to ActionScript. This will help you both in learning PHP, and in improving your knowledge in AS3.

2. Let’s face it, almost every website out there runs on PHP. We cannot change this, so we must change our knowledge to be a part of the many people who use PHP. Some examples of popular uses of PHP are:

  • Content Manage Systems
  • Browser-Based Games
  • Online Applications
  • Blogs

Most likely, one of these is going to applicable to what you’re going to do in flash.

3. Out of all the programming and scripting languages in the world, the best match for flash is PHP. They are meant to be together, like husband and wife. There are many ways that Flash and PHP can be used together. Here’s a list of ways they can be used:

  • High Scores
  • Account Systems
  • Dynamic Flash Sites
  • Image Galleries
