php.net Tutorial

This repo contains a proposal for the new tutorial on php.net. The idea is to create a better introduction tutorial for the language. The goal is to help new people getting started using PHP and at the same time educate people in best practices.

The topics of this tutorial should contain all the information neccesary for people to create their first project using PHP while considering the level of people who will use it: namely: people new to the language.

To keep changes and formatting in line there are some rules in place to guarantee this:

• All topics should be in a separate document.
• The documents should be named as the title in only lowercase characters where spaces are replaced by dashes (-) and prefixed with n- where n is the topic number.
• The documents should be saved using the .md extension.
• The documents should use proper markdown formatting.
• Always add links to the English version of the manual where more information or further
  explanation is justified. Note that links to the manual should not be preceded by a subdomain, e.g.: http://nl.php.net/manual/en/.
• When adding links always use named link instead of numeric links or inline links.
• Links should always be added at the end of the document.

• Notes should be formatted using markdown blockquotes.
