Anyone know PHP?

[IAIHMB]

If so, how'd you go about learning it? I missed out on this years college courses, so I have an entire year of free time. :P I use to be a big fan of the "for Dummies" books, but lately they lack in funny, I don' think they'll do it for me anymore. Thanks for any input.

I knew nothing, literally, about HTML and I've made entire site through PHP. It's an OScommerce site but I've changed it quit a bit through trial and error. I would consider myself fluent with it now though.

I learned most of it here:

I learned PHP by installing PHP and writing PHP files. It has a lot of documentation, including some introductory material that covers the basic syntax.

Read. Then try. Learn from your mistakes. Try again.

But I'll bet he won't walk anyone through it step by step. He'll probably give you a link to a php noob site or two

if you are familiar with C or C++ or Java it is very easy to learn.
