i have been using jsp for web development till now , my last project used struts..but now i want something new. being a big open-source fanatic, i want to learn php.
so i was looking for some resources, which can quicken my journey, by eliminating the stuff i have already read in jsp, and i also need to have you people reviews / comparisons regarding the two technologies...
any help or ideas ?
thanks a lot !!

Re: migrating from jsp to php
Isn't Struts open source? You'd be better off starting at php.net and reading everything that interests you, and then making some simple web apps like a guestbook or something to get a feel for the language. It's quite a bit different to JSP though, and I'm not sure if there are any similar frameworks to Struts, someone else might need to tell you about that.

Re: migrating from jsp to php
If you're coming from Struts a lot of concepts are shared with PHP frameworks - the mechanics and components will differ but the patterns will be familiar. I'd suggest starting small with a small framework app like a guestbook/blog/shopping cart - if you know Java the differences from PHP syntax can be picked up over time. First app should give you a quick taste of how PHP differs from what you're used to.
PHP has dozens of Frameworks to suit any taste so its hard to give a recommendation. The main popular ones seem to be CodeIgnitor, Zend Framework, Symfony and CakePHP (in no particular order). Definitely look into the PHP basics before any undertaking - it's OO model isn't just the same as Java's with a few syntactic differences. There's the usual problem of PHP not being pure OO - everything is not an object - for example.
