Learning PHP

[Mushrambo]

Hello all,

I want to learn PHP but I don't know where to start. I have experience with ActionScript 3 so the basics will be not that hard to pick up (loops, switch, if/else etc). Im not sure if PHP is OOP (just as clean as ActionScript 3 or Java), but if it is, I'd like it to learn OOP PHP.

Is there someone who can recommend me a good book or some other good way to learn PHP?

Thanks.

Hi Mushrambo,

sorry that I cannot really help. When I was in your situation, I started with a book (no idea what that was, but probably not in english), the php online manual and a task to solve in php. It was a rewrite of something I had done a short time before as a cgi/perl website

What site are you referring to? Part of my job now is to learn PHP so I could be more effective in my position. Is the site you are talking about is free?

I’m a web developer that is doing some teaching on the side. These are a set of excellent tutorials. I have been using a modified version to teach my classes.

I'm making use of the site www.sitemasters.be. Although it's all written in my main language, I guess everybody else can make a little use of it.

Thanks for sharing Fulton
