Can anyone recommend a good distance learning course that teaches PHP? This must be recognised and more importantly teach and present good course material.
I’m new to PHP but have had great results over the last 6 months and would really like to further my learning in a proper professional way. I still see myself as a complete beginner so any advice is welcome.
Thanks
Brian

is it important that it is recongnized? school credit or something.
Otherwise a good book and lots of time playing around.
Oh yeah the manual is the best resource with this forum being a close second
google search for php certification as I beleive zend is doing one now that seems promising for industry recognisition.

“is it important that it is recongnized? school credit or something”.
Absolutely not and I agree with you here in that I really am interested in learning but in a guided way if possible. I’m 43 years old and really not interested in a cert as I don’t feel the need to prove anything to anyone but I just want to get into a well structured course if this exists.
”Otherwise a good book and lots of time playing around”.
I have been doing this alright and maybe this is the way to keep going!
”google search for php certification as I believe zend is doing one now that seems promising for industry recognisition.”
Yeah I looked at this and thought it seemed attractive but thought I’d fire out a question or two first.
Thanks for you reply I do appreciate it.

Definitely recognised is the
Zend PHP Certification...

Not cheap though I don't think.

You can sign up for
Zend certification which is the most authoritative qualification for PHP (Zend's been developing and maintaining PHP since pretty soon after its inception).
