    The one place that you definatly need to go once you understand the extreme basics of PHP is phpfreaks.com. This is possibly the best forum around for PHP, and I have always loved the amount of knowledge, and source code that is lying around.

    If you need any help, PM me, and I can get you setup on my server so you can play around a little bit. Or ill help you setup your own 8]

    you should buy one of those PHP/MySQL tutorial books and create one of the example applications they talk about from scratch. you get to learn both PHP / MySQL and get a good idea on how certain PHP applications are built.

        It may just be your computer. Check your firewall, and what OS are you running as I had this problem with Vi$ta and it was the firewall blocking the program from starting(no popup either ugh).

        Also, have you Setup XAMPP, by that have you run the setupSomething.bat file. That could fix your problem.(if your on window$)

      Dont try and sit down and comprehend it dry from a book. I tried this and it didn't work. You best bet is to think of something you want to achieve - say install/make a web directory out of php with categories and listings that are in a database.

      Download an opensource one thats simple, go through the install process - and keep those books by your side for when you get stuck.

      Its easier to learn while you do it that sit down and try to memorise it.

      In time you'll have a little library of code snippets that you can refer back to saving you doing stuff over and over and before you know it you'll be building bigger stuff and coming across new problems to solve.

    As crazy as it might sound, I never bought a single book to learn to program anything. Most of the things I know today have been through following examples online and trying them out.

    Again, you must learn to use Google. You may be surprised the wealth of material out there.

    Have fun!

        If its just apache that isnt starting, have you tried checking the server logs for the cause of the problem?

        Usually found here, though it can vary...

        Apache2: /var/log/apache2/error.log
        Apache: /var/log/httpd/error.log

        [You may be able to do this if you have a control panel type front end, but i wouldnt know about that].

    Thanks,
    Do you already know how to program with another programming language?
    If you already understand concepts such as classes, namespaces, operators and so forth, you can use the php manual: PHP: PHP Manual - Manual

    If you are new to programming than you have two things to learn: how to program, and what options php gives a programmer. You can compare this to learning how to drive a new type of car, vs. learning to drive your first car.

    If you don't already know html and css, then you have an additional learning curve for those subjects.
