Hey Guys,
I'm just starting out in PhP just came from VB programming, and I'm currently looking for a good PhP learning book, something that'll take me asfar as possible aswell has have exercises for me to do while I'm completing each chapter.
I find doing exercises they provide helps me remember, it then just reading it.
If anyone has any suggestions that'll be great
Thank you

I currently have "Pro Php" from Wrox
I didn't pay for it, it was given to me, but it doesn't have any exercises that it gives you..
I personally find it easier for me to remember programming, when they give me exercises to do using what I have learned thus far.
Do any of the things books you have suggested contain exercises?
Thanks in advance
