Hi guys I recently start learning PHP and since I know a bit C and C++ it's not troubling me. Concept is very much similar so I don't think it’s tough. I have finished all the chapters from w3school and feel I understood everything.
My main problem is that I don't know how to use it for making a website. I agree for making a website we need to be aware of PHP and MYSQL atleast (for making database driven websites). Beside w3 I have studied a lot over YouTube and at killer but still I could not understand how it will be used for making a website.
I wanna write classified script and improve my current site. Is there any resource available which can teach me from bottom to top, each and every step? I just want to know how I can use this practically.
Any help will highly be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!

No book really walks you through that whole process, no, not that I know of, it would be many books that would walk you through that process.
Build your own classified script or download someone else's and make the required changes.

Re: Best PHP learning Resource
I gotta disagree with some of the posts..there are a few good books I would recommend
For an absolute great start I suggest PHP and Mysql by larry ullman. The current in php6 and mysql 5. I would get that as the only thing he really hints on in php 6 is the multi language feature, the rest is good and pure 5.x php.
that book will show you CMS, forums, and ecommerce from start to finish and most useful web app code...procedurally. He does have a OOP book but I suggest starting there.
A second book I would get since it covers a lot about strings, files, and the like is SAMS Teach yourself php in 24 hours.
I used these two books back in 2003 and in one month was banging out content management sites and stopped hiring php programmers forever.
I find those books really show you how it works and gets you started...where you go from there is all you man
