Hello all,
I have knowledge on some programming languages. Im hoping to learn PHP in due time. Can anyone recommend a good book for beginner/intermediate users who wish to learn PHP?
Regards,

I would recommend The PHP Anthology by Harry Fuecks: http://www.sitepoint.com/books/phpant1/

I really dont think you need to fork out to buy a book to learn php. There are plenty of resources online that can teach you everything from installation to image manipulation. I know you say that you dont like reading stuff on the screen - fair enough - but to really learn php you will need to pratice...which will be using a computer and reading off a screen.
I think all you really need to do is download a few basic programming tutorials and some stuff on object oreintated programming - then you can print these and read them from paper and then come back and just pratice on your computer with the help of the php manual and a personal goal to code something.
Once you have the basic syntax of loops and assignment sorted then it really is just a case of consulting the php manual every few mins to see what function you need to use to do problem x.
