How much math theory will I need to program PHP?
October 31st, 2009 | 
Author: I want to teach myself advanced PHP, MySQL and XHTML/CSS (I already have these pretty much down). How much math is actually involved? I have a pretty good handle on it up to Calc II — past that it’s beyond me. Most of the tutorial websites that I have looked at have not been very adequete and have actually been a waste of time. Where can I go to find the best ones for intermediate-advanced that dont go over basic stuff?
You really don’t need much beyond basic algebra… and even then, it’s the computer doing all the work. You just put in the equations.
Though if you’re using it for a website, you’re really not going to use much math at all. I maintain 10 decent sized sites all written in PHP, and the only thing that really gets into any math at all is the site with an events calendar.
PHP is more about logic than math (good thing, too, seeing as I damn near failed Calc 1 and didn’t take any more after that… LOL).

PHP math is pretty simple. Try PHP in 10 minutes, it’s a good book.
