[web] PHP tutorials
Author
OK, so I was looking around Amazon.com and I saw the book Game Programming in PHP. I was very intrigued by the last chapter, which talked about making a MMORPG in PHP. My question is, would it be practical to make an entire MMORPG in PHP? If so, could you point me towards some good PHP game development/graphics tutorials?
That just sounds like a bad idea to me. :( If it become really popular, the overhead of web based sessions could become problematic.
The php interpreter lacks raw power as compared to "traditional" languages like c or c++.
That said, it is very possible to create any type of game in php; do take into consideration, however, that it's not designed for real-time games at all.

You might be able to do some cool client side stuff with Java Script, then process the interaction with PHP.
Yeah, I'd be really interested in knowing what that last chapter was all about. A Mud would be fairly easy to pull off, an MMORPG would not be.

You could but it would be a ton of work. :(
More work than if I did it in C++/DirectX?
