PHP has an active community of users worldwide who have published lots of useful information, including sample scripts, on their web sites. Here is a list of some PHP sites that are quite useful if you're using PHP, whether you're a beginner or an advanced user.

This list is by no means exhaustive, you can try search engines such as Google to help find other sites, especially if you're looking for help with a specific function.

• www.php.net
  The home of the PHP software itself - very useful info both on PHP generally as well as the online manual for help with particular functions.
• www.mysql.com
  Information on MySQL databases
• www.phpbuilder.com
  A popular PHP user forum and regular articles exploring different PHP features
• www.hotscripts.com
  All sort of scripts (not just PHP, but a good range of PHP scripts to choose from)

If you have any very good general PHP sites to suggest as additions to our list, please let us know.
