I am incorporating an business that will have a lot to do with backend stuff like php/mysql. I have enough experience to make the page look pretty and enough to do basic forms, but I need someone with additional php knowledge for more advanced applications. If I am just beginning this venture, what would you recommend I exchange for a person to be my "head webmaster" of sorts? A % of profit, stock….? Keep in mind that I am low on capital.

Most good PHP developers are going to ask for something in the range of $30 – $50 an hour… I would suggest making contact with a few, but wait until you have a project to bid on until you bring them in. Then use their rate as your base when bidding on the project.

I have a PHP program that runs on Apache and connects to MySQL. The network administrator told me that they will block HTTP and allow HTTPS, will that cause a problem with my application?
The administrator will install the certificates, do I need to change the code? The database is hosted on the same server too.

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL) is a Web protocol developed by Netscape and built into its browser that encrypts and decrypts user page requests as well as the pages that are returned by the Web server. HTTPS is really just the use of Netscape's Secure Socket Layer (SSL) as a sublayer under its regular HTTP application layering. (HTTPS uses port 443 instead of HTTP port 80 in its interactions with the lower layer, TCP/IP.) SSL uses a 40-bit key size for the RC4 stream encryption algorithm, which is considered an adequate degree of encryption for commercial exchange.
If you are hosting the files for it, you may need to make some changes and get a security certificate. If you are just browsing the site, you should be fine. HTTPS is just like going to a bank website, it encrypts everything.

I want to learn network programming, scripting, web development using scripting languages. There are so many books in the market and every one of them claims to be the best. So I need first hand informations and tips to choose the correct book both for beginner's and advanced level users.

It appears that the question period has expired. If you have received an answer that meets your needs, please choose one of those as a 'best answer.' If you haven't received a good answer for your question, you may want to consider the following,

1) Re-post your question. Newer questions get more activity on Yahoo! Answers than old ones.
2) If you do re-post your question, consider why it wasn't answered the first time. Could it be more specific? Could it be worded better? Were there grammatical or spelling errors? Was it in the best category?

If it doesn't seem likely that re-posting your question will help you, then here's a listing of my favorite 'answer sites'. Maybe one of them will help you.

Since I really haven't answered your question, it is not necessary to give me any points. Regards.

At the minute i'm on css as ive done xhtml,but i'm a bit confused to which programming language i should learn after ive done javascript, i was first looking into php,then i was looking into perl, but as visual basic is the easiest language to learn,as well as powerful is it possible i could learn VB instead of php/perl for web development for databases ect………..

What languages you learn to use should be a matter of which ones interest you. If you don't like the work you do, you won't be successful at it.

That said, I generally recommend new programmers learn PHP / MySQL, then ASP.NET, as PHP is easier to grasp, has more peer support and is more forgiving of errors.

where is best to start learning php programming from scratch?
i know nothing about web programming – not even html – so where is the best place to do it? ( pls don't tell me to search online or go to a school)

I learnt everything including html, javascript, ASP, CSS, PHP etc.. from http://www.w3schools.com

The website is free, and you get tutorials from the very basics till some advanced point. You will get to learn lots of web programming languages for free, plus there is no need for you to register.

PHP and ASP do not run directly on your computer. You need to setup a server on your computer, you will get the tutorials to do so on that website

So you have finally arrived at a stage where you to need to
choose a web host to run your PHP & MySQL supported website.
This means your website is dynamic, that is, it changes
according to the feedback from your visitors or the data your
MySQL database contains.

You may need PHP features in your web hosting for the following
reasons:

[o] YOU NEED TO PROCESS THE WEB FORM USING php

Although there are numerous CGI scripts available (and many
hosts provide these scripts for free), if you can, it is
preferable to get your own script written to meet your specific
requirements. The cgi scripts available at your web host are
very generic in nature. If you have your own PHP script to
handle your form, you can generate your own response when a
visitor submits your form.

There are great many JavaScripts that can help you validate your
forms, but these days many surfers prefer to disable scripts for
the fearing on getting infected with worms and viruses. php
script on the other hand a server-side script and nobody can
stop them from running as long as the browser is loading the web
page.

You can also send a customized “thank you” message to whoever
submits the form. After sending the “thank you” message and
emailing the form details to you, your customized php script can
also save the submitted information in a php database.

[o] MANAGE PRODUCT CATALOGS WITH php & MySql DATABASE

You may like to generate your pages dynamically using data in
your MySQL database. For example, if you want to maintain a
catalog of 150 different wine bags, it would be arduous to
maintain the details manually. Instead you can put information
like price, shape, color, picture path, etc. in a database and
then write a php page that, let us say, shows 10 wine bags at a
time. The visitor thinks she’s visited 15 pages, but there is
only one dynamic page that is sequentially showing the products.

Additionally, if you want your visitors to be able to conduct
searches (just red wine bags) you can upload a php script to
your web host that shows only the wine bags that satisfy the
search criteria.

[o] PUBLISH A BLOG

You may need a PHP/MySQL web host if you are planning to publish
a regular blog.

Most blogging software these days, such as MovableType and
WordPress use php and MySql to generate dynamic content. In
fact, WordPress has been purely written using PHP and MySql so
that people well-versed with the php programming language can
make their own changes.

[o] MANAGE AN E-COMMERCE WEBSITE

Choosing a php / MySql web host is a great way to go if you want
to run an e-commerce website. E-commerce websites indisputably
need dynamic capabilities such as updatable shopping carts and
inventory management systems that can be developed using php and
MySql.

As they say, when it comes to imagination and innovation, the
sky is the limited. A PHP/MySQL web host empowers you to create
as many web-enabled capabilities as you can think of.

ADVANTAGES OF CHOOSING A php / MySql WEB HOST

Advantages of opting for php & MySql web hosting are:

1. php websites, since they are run on Linux and Unix, are
considered more secure compared to Windows supported languages
such as ASP and .NET.

2. Lots of free php source code is available on the Internet.
There are hundreds of forums that readily provide you assistance
while you learn and develop websites in php.

3. Both php and MySql are free from License fees.

4. php & MySql web hosting is much cheaper than Windows
supported hosting

5. Applications written in php are sturdier and easily scalable
to various web hosting environments. Notably, php scripts can be
run on Windows hosting but ASP and .NET apps do not work on
Linux and Unix
