You should get really good books and papers from google .

There's some PDFs over here (I mean me), if you'd like it.Then, the official website itself has huge html download of manuals.All these involve time (for you to read all over it....), so I don't know if that's what you're looking for.

there are some video tutorials which are freely availiable on the emule/edonkey network.search "php" and select filetype "avi".I recommend emule plus.

I am in the same situation..... so I recently got a book called "The PHP5 and MySQL Bible" by Tim Converse... It cost Rs. 400 at Om bookstore. So far it's a pretty good book... the only problem is, as much as the author has tried to make it accessible to beginners, in some portions it's a little dense.... but if you have already played with another programming language (and are capable with HTML) you should be in good hands with this book....

yeah, basics need to be clear... you can pick any language easily. 🙂

I have 2 sites that offer free tutorials/ebooks: www.vexat.net and www.bnetsupport.com/sidebar.html


PS: Nah! not promoting my site, just trying 2 help out ppl 🙂

If you already have some task at hand (e.g. some site that you want to build) then its easier since it will give you a sense of purpose....Learn what you need to getcurrent task done, and after 3 - 4 sites you will be a pro

I'd suggest you to learn C first. It's the first step towards programming. Then you pursue PHP as its syntax is quite similar to C. It took just 2 days to master PHP after learning C, C++ and Java...Easy as pie

Sensible piece of advice ! Without purpose,however well we learn we forget...

I think W3Schools.com has some very basic and concise PHP tutorials. Study them and then start building a basic site somewhere. Learn as you go along.Here's an idea : build a forum ^_^

i believe developing a blog would be an easier task.
