I would like to recommend the actual php manual site:
php.net/manual/en/

It is a bit more techy, but I still think it is very good for learning php. Start with one of the tutorials suggested, but definitely keep this bookmarked as a handy tool.

Try w3schools, if you're a beginner. Also, you can try youtube for tutorials, I recommend "theneboston" youtube channel.

Lynda.com video tutorials are best to learn php.

I recommend you to try learning from the official website php.net. hey have a micro website called PHP Documentation and which contains every aspect of leaning PHP for different levels from beginners to expert developers.

I would suggest grabbing an Open Source library or application and see what they do. Delve into it beginning with index.php to learn the ins and outs of the language. PHP can be both procedural driven or OO driven. A good framework if you're used to Model-View-Controller methods is CodeIgniter. A good framework and CMS if you want to checkout the procedural driven methods is Drupal. Use the php.net site to explore each function you might have a question about.

Hi,
Like a recommandation, I learned php from free e-books, and allways checking and testing the documentation and examples from php.net.
A book for php course teaches you from beginner level, step by step, with detalied explanations, just look on the net for: "free pdf php course", then, the tutorials are good to learn new things.

I would start with PHP Tutorial

This is what i used to get me started, i don't have a great knowledge of PHP but the things i do know i have learnt it from W3

agreed, W3 is probably the best and its free so you cant beat that

Lynda.com is my first choice to learn any programming languages with video direction.

Hi Mate,
I suggest you to don't put yourself in video tutorials or blogs which teach php. A book is always good friend..
however I have a question do you have complete knowledge of html/css as i think its more important before you jump to html/css.
my suggestion for you if you want to be a complete php programmer.
1: learn the basic of algorithm and database management system this will help you in creating your own custom application in php, a person can't be complete programmer if he/she has no background knowledge of database and algorithm
2: learn html/css this is the first step in web development.
3:start lerning php and mysql... the best book is wrox beginning php/mysql

Thanks and its my personal suggestionsas a graduate of computer sciences.

There are infinite number of threads on this forum which will answer your question

A li'l digging would help.

I recommend the Php with MySQL series by Kevin Skoglund (http://www.lynda.com/Kevin-Skoglund/104-1.html). It thought me PHP and MySQL (an open source database, which works great with PHP). After that, you just need to practice, practice, practice. php.net is very helpful then.

Hey Buddy,You can learn PHP 5 tutorials on w3schools.com, Homeandlearn, and codeacademy. Lots of tutorials you can choose. From beginners to advanced PHP Scripts
