Where to start with PHP?

[Goose31]

I've already looked at this thread about it, but I still don't know where I should start to learn it. Should I learn out of a book, or online through tutorials? If a book, which one (or ones).

I appriciate any help.

Defenatly Book, Any one can write a tutorial and put it on the web. Although tutorials will get you started, you will need a book eventualy. I recomend PHP & MySQL Web Development Seccond Eddition. It has good, real life examples. Very easy to learn.

Recommended book, Professional PHP 5.

Books are highly reccomended, but this tutorial helps really good. Courtesy of Pilot-Doofy.

Try to get the latest revision of any book you buy.
I feel that they forgot a few things in "PHP and mysql web devlopment", like the foreach loop. But overall it's a good book.

I used some eBooks, I don't think they really helped that much, tutorials done it for me , and my own b0rking around, then everything just falls into place
