Eh, do you know any other languages like Java? If so then learning PHP is not tough at all. If you do not know JAVA or anything similar then find a project you want to do and work on it. For me is was a forum board. Take a look at w3 and try to build a very simple function or script (like a login system) then expand on it. Add more functions. Make the code neater, etc...

 

And bam you know PHP ;) 

 

 

PS, it might work for you but books were never really my thing.

Find some open source PHP scripts & dig into the code to see what does what.

Trial and error; change some stuff and see where it leads you.

 

Or; do simple things like find out how to code an email sending scripts and modify it to suit your needs using stuff you find on google...

 

Only way to learn is by actually doing it, you can read all the books and ebooks out there, but if you don't do it for yourself you will never understand.

 

The first place to start is always the same.. Say Hello World... and build from there...

 

My first course on PHP started here :

<?phpecho "Hello World";?>

... then move on from there.

<?php$iteration = "Hello World";echo $iteration;?>

Or you can pass HTML and POST values

<?php //IF the username has not been submitted, display the form;// Notice statements (if, else) are encapsulated by { }// Where $_post is the action method and ['user'] is the value of input "user" if ($_POST['user'] == ' '){ //<- this states that if $_POST['user'] is blank then return what follows (the HTML Form).?><form action="./" method="post"><input type="text" name="user"><input type="submit" Value="Login"></form><?php } //or else say Hello to User.... else {$user = $_POST['user'];echo "Hello ".$user." Welcome!";} ?></body></html>

Start simple and work your way up to the Big Leagues... Class, Functions, includes, MySQ, etc....
