    I need to learn how to design dynamic pages. I already know XHTML and CSS. I can hand code and I also own Dreamweaver CS3. I am trying to decided whether to learn PHP or ColdFusion. I am open to opinions as well as best way to learn
    Thanks so much

    php is the bomb solution. so much more powerful than coldfusion and so user-friendly too. pph.net has endless examples of how to do stuff, and there's andless forums like this and more php-dedicated ones where u can get easy help.

    all you need for dynamics is an index.php file like this:

    Code:
    <?
session_start();
if($_GET[colour]){$_SESSION[colour]=$_GET[colour];}
?>
<html>
<body style="background-color:<?echo$_SESSION[colour]?>">
<h1>Hi!</h1>
</body>
</html>
    now try index.php?colour=#FF0000 ...and of course it will be different to index.php?colour=#999999

    already you can see how, using ?this=that in urls, and $_GET[blaa] (reads data pairs from the url) and $_SESSION[blaa] (stores a session cookie), you can make very dynamic sites ;)

    You can increase your earning potential by teaching yourself languages like Ruby. Especially with the RoR (Ruby on Rails) framework, Ruby is one of the highest paying web development languages - especially in startups.
