PHP to Visual C++?

Hello, I'm alright with PHP (I understand the syntax very well, it's just I'm too good with remembering the functions). However I do understand OOP and stuff like that. I was wondering how tough/easy it will be to learn visual C++ with a book.

I would make sure you got a VERY good book that teaches in the way you learn best(i.e lots of examples, lots of pictures, etc.)
The book that comes with the standard edition of VC++ 6 in my opinion sucks. I have tried several times to learn VC++ 6 and failed.
IMHO

IMHO, I would first try to find a book that teaches OOP using C++.
I think you should really understand C++ first (and its OO'tation). There is quite a difference between PHP scripting and coding C (and C++).
Even more that OO in php isn't really what I would call OO (yet!).
I believe you should :
- first try to really understand OO;
- then, apply C++ (and I mean C++!)
- finally, go for that "M$ Visual C++" thing, what ever that might be

Yea, get objectivity down pat (and I mean
pat 
)
Once you know the mechanics of proper coding, you'll see the only really new elements to a new language are the syntax and structure (among others, of course)
