PHP Newbie

[Woodster]

Hi,

I'm want to try and get to grips with PHP and I've never really used it before. I fairly good with HTML and Javascript, but I haven't a clue where to start with PHP.

I've lots a good things about it. Anyone any suggestions on what to do, to get me started with it?

Thanks guys.

:-)

Easiest way I've found is that once you've got the gist of the syntax etc, is just to head onto www.php.net and look up functions. Find a function that looks interesting and basically play with it, combining it with other functions, etc. Also, the 'comments' can often be useful.

If you feel like reading I found this book very helpful :)

Actually I had thought about buying a book on Php, but wondered which would be best for beginners of php and intermediate web designers.

Is this book like that?

Yep, although a basic knowledge of a programing language would be helpful. There are some example chapters at that link I posted so you can get an idea of how it's written ;)
