This is a question for all you successful PHP programmers. Could you guys give me steps on where to go from, right now I know the basics of PHP like functions, arrays and such..
Where should I go from here, and what sites/tutorials should I use. What are the steps you guys took to learn PHP and become good at it. How did you learn?
Thanks

A good way to learn PHP - look through this forum and help 20 people with their problems. I bet by then you'll have learned at least 15 new things.

Go through the tutorial at http://tizag.com
Then get a PHP5/MySQL book. There are a few good ones. I have http://search.barnesandnoble.com/PHP-an ... 721/?itm=9 which I recommend.

Re: Need Tips Learning PHP
As the next step after becoming comfortable with PHP, I recommend looking at some other languages like C and Java (but come back to PHP, of course). It will give you some perspective on the fundamentals of programming. I found that reading a book on Java helped me get a better understanding of object-oriented programming and reading through a (The) book on C helped me get an idea of what PHP is "under the hood".

Re: Need Tips Learning PHP
As omniuni said Tizag is good. W3Schools is the other one to look at in my opinion. If those frustrate you have a look at my site which has been designed to get you started (then you need tizag) or a good book.
