Nearly everyone here (including me) started off on PHP via a book, although you CAN learn PHP without spending a single cent and learn it online, I too would suggest you take the book route. There have been a lot of good books mentioned by the others so have a look at them and the book that I stared on: "PHP blackbook", pretty good and starts from a real newbie perspective. I don't mean to discourage you but you must/should have some prior experience with programming or you are going to find this very very tough, that said, best of luck, and _when_ you stumble across problems you will find this list is very friendly in helping you out. Welcome to PHP. Cheers, -Ryan
