Help Me Learn php

[Zephyrus]

Hi everyone. I'm trying to learn php and I hope you all will help guide me. I'd like any advice and links you could provide that would teach me more php. I currently know a little, enough to write stuff, but I'm still missing a lot. What I'm looking for is not so much individual small articles or basic tutorials but either a book or a course or some other plan outline that can get me from basic knowledge to a pretty good grasp of the language. Thanks.

You might want to download the manual. Or add search for PHP functions (Firefox's search box can search PHP functions for you)

 

The official manual and a function search is available from http://www.php.net

 

You going to need to lookup functions in the manual quite a bit as you start out.

 

If you want a book just type PHP into Amazon, there's probably quite a few.

Depending on how far along you are tizag.com is a great place for PHP. After that Zend.com has some pretty good basic tutorials that have some things not covered at Tizag. Other than that I find good things to do is try and make a script that you know you can't finish with your current knowledge and when you run into something you can't do check either php.net, look at a similar tutorial to your script, or ask on a forum. Some people might like to look directly at a tutorial but I find it better to just skim it, get an idea of how to do it, and go back later if your stuck.
