Learning PHP

[0degree]

Can anyone please point me in the right direction (on the net) on where I can start learning PHP?[nbsp][nbsp]Are there any sites dedicated to such a topic?
Thank you.

Tony.

I have to be quite honest.[nbsp][nbsp]I've found it very difficult to learn PHP on the internet.[nbsp][nbsp]The tutorials are either too beginner, or too advanced with no adequate explanations or background.

If you're willing to invest in a book, I'd highly suggest Teach Yourself PHP4 in 24 Hours, by SAMS publishing and Mark Zandstra.[nbsp][nbsp]I've found it to be an excellent resource (save a couple first print errors) for laying a sufficient foundation for the language and learning it through a progressive series of chapters all with great examples on how everything works.

Hi Tony,

There is a PHP - MySQL tutorial located in Aota.net:
http://www.aota.net/PHP_and_MySQL/index.php3

It contains other links to recommended reading as well.

Hope this helps :)
Have a Good One

A good place to start is http://www.php.net/links.php or http://php.resourceindex.com/

http://phpbuilder.com has very good articles and forums
