I am a complete programming amateur, I only started learning markup a few months ago. Right now I’m trying to create a website for a webcomic, and all the pages are coming out well with my knowledge of HTML, but I need to add a First/Previous/Random/Next/Last navigation to my comic page. I have no idea where to begin or even what kind of things I need to learn, though I’m pretty sure it has to do with php/mysql.
If someone could please help me out by pointing me in the right direction, I really need some guidance. Any good tutorials, WYSIWYG generators, or code examples for First/Prev/Next/Last that you know of would be much appreciated, and would really help me out!
Hey thanks, I took a look at the link at it seems like a good place to start. Unfortunately I don’t even have enough php savvy to follow the (probably beginner level) instructions. I know, I’m embarrassingly inept. Before I try something stupid like just copying and pasting random functions, could you explain it to me like your explaining it to a five year-old?
(Thanks if anyone takes the time to actually do that).
Dont try to run before you can walk, find a good online PHP tutorial and start from basics, if you have any other prog language skills you wont find it that hard, if not then you need to learn the basics and that takes time and effort.
Copying and pasting found pieces of code without having a clue of how they are working will just lead to trouble further down the road.
