how can i learn php?

For a while when I was beginning I used this:

http://www.killerphp.com/

Then I just got bored after a few lessons and quit, but it was a very helpful site.

I posted these in a previous couple of threads, but they're still up on RapidShare. You might want to grab them while you can and save them for later. It took a bit to find and upload them.

Cheers! :)
 
EDIT: Sometimes you find your mistakes on your own :)

The best way to learn ANY software:

Go to www.lynda.com search for the software you want to learn. Copy the title of the most recent video series related to that software into your clipboard.

Go to google, paste the name of the software, followed by the words 'lynda.com video torrent'. You should get several links. Be careful because some of these sites require logins but many are free. Pirate Bay is one of the best.

You will need a torrent download software. The best IMO is Vuze. www.vuze.com

This is how I learned PHP and mySQL as well as photoshop, illustrator, etc., etc.

Enjoy!
 
I have a question about PHP. I too want to learn PHP with MySQL, I have done a C#.NET 2.0 back office project with Microsoft's free tools. The MS tools were so much easier to use than having to code everything from scratch in PHP/MySQL to do the same type of project.

My question is, why would anyone want to use PHP/MySQL vs (VB/C#).NET/SQL Server. Are there applications where PHP is more appropriate of a programming language to use vs .NET etc??? I want to know both eventually but wondering when to use one over the other.

Anyone have any great insight into this?

Thanks,

PHP is the best web programming language IMO, raising scorpion.

I also can vouch for tizag.com.
 
like someone before said, w3schools is a very good place to start, after that you're on your own, use a lot of php.net
 
I learned php by tweaking Wordpress sites. I now know just about everything I need to and what I can't figure out I use hxxp://w3.amazon.com/PHP-Pocket-Reference-OReilly/dp/1565927699 or hxxp://w3.php.net/quickref.php as a reference and if I can't figure it out ask in hxxp://w3.phpbuilder.com/ or find an existing script I can tweak

Yeah, also I'm not promoting another forum but you can learn how to create PHP scripts from observing the script library over at Syndk8, its a great s t a r t and especially good since you're learning about things you'll probably want to create. Sourceforge is another great thing too!
 
Raising Scorpion - TBH you can use c# on .net or php on apache, either way it doesn't make a lot of difference if you can build a webapp to do what you need to do. If c# suites you then use it. Personally I don't find c# the most straightforward language, but if it works for you then use it! The bonus with .net is it makes it easier to create standalone .exes.

I guess the biggest hurdle is that .net and c# aren't open source and hosting in general probably costs a little more and perhaps there are less free scripts and CMS' out there to tweak but it's just as powerful.
