I want to learn PHP

Post by JulieXP »

Does anyone know where I maybe able to find a PHP Tutorial for newbies?
I search on googles and all I find is <?php echo "Hello World!" ?> commands or things that way too advance for me.

Maybe I just don't know which keyword to look up.

I would actually suggest learning the old fashioned way by buying a book.

This is a superb book for beginners: http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/ ... 57440.html

http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/627 looks like a good site. I went to Borders bookstore and got a book "learning PHP in 24 hours" and it was very, very useful. I like books, because its not possible to copy/paste code to cheat yourself out of it. And you can go at your own pace. Mainly I'd say only do 3-4 pages at a time till you are familiar with that information. And you will NEVER know all the functions. Thats why php.net is there. Very good guide.
