How to become a good PHP coder?

Hi all... I want to know how do you guys learn so much about PHP? I have just started PHP about a month and a half ago and pior to that, I have ABSOLUTELY NO knowledge in programming. I bought 2 books, which is Begining PHP4 (Wrox Press) and Core PHP programming (Prentice Hall). And that's all I can afford now... (I don't have a lot of money.. i learn using my friend's computer). However, I am determined to specialize in PHP. Can anyone point me towards a direction on how to do this properly? Can anyone guide me through by letting me do a small part (more importantly not critical) of your projects as an excercise so that I can start a journey of discovery? Thanks to all of you. And most of all thanks to all of your generosity. Yours, Wee Keat ------------------------------------------------------------ "Good timber does not grow with ease; the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees."
