Hi Friends,

Thanks,

yeah it is good to have basic knowledge of PHP as most of the popular CMS are based on open source which can be easily integrated with use of PHP. If you are new at programming, prefer to study wordpress which wouldn't require to have deep level knowledge of PHP.

[dagnyjbarber]

it will be good to learn programming language. but HTMl is must for this.

In case of Drupal, Joomla and many other popular CMS's, the underlying technology is PHP. Hence learning PHP basics would be the first step if you are planning to learn one of those.

its true that PHP is underlying technology for all plate forms but you may get help from any professional one time and after that you can handle it because CMS is user friendly and any one can handle it very easily.

According to me, PHP is the best and well famous programming language for free open source. And almost many developers want PHP to use with CMS platforms.

[greentek]

I absolutely agree with you friend. it's must to know about PHP.

[eswari]

yes, The simpler a CMS is to understand, the less it can do and the more you will need PHP to implement its function. For a CMS to not need you to know PHP to be able to use it to do anything that you will ever need, the CMS will be way more complicated than PHP to understand.

[carleywatson]

yes, Php is necessary for CMS. CMS stands for content management system.

[greentek]

Depend on you. you want to learn or not....

PHP is the basic platform on which wordpress and other CMS are built. So basically if you want to go in deep you have to study PHP and related coding.

[jeffstone]

if you want some sort of a customization to be done on the web then learning PHP is must.

[clara_butler]

The easier a CMS is to learn, the less it can do and the more you will need PHP to extend its functionality. For a CMS to not need you to know PHP to be able to use it to do anything that you will ever require, the CMS will be way more complex than PHP to learn.

[thakursanjeev]

Yes, it is necessary to some basic knowledge of PHP for CMS because PHP is used in WordPress, Joomla and other CMS.
