Hi there, I´m familiar with PHP syntax, but I´ve been reading some sample scripts, in PHP5 and i´ve seen some "strange" things, like diferent ways to read a collection of rows, magic functions, wrapers, and operators like "::" and "->". I know that all is the manual, but before that anyone nows, a website or a simple tutorial or explained samples, in order that the transition from PHP4 and PHP5 were easiest as possible.

dictionary.com ('nows'? you mean 'knows'?) and for the rest, please pull a digit from you deriere and visit a search engine: http://www.google.nl/search?q=php5+beginners+tutorial there is no substitute for reading the manual - no instant matrix-like download straight into your head. so given you know everything you want is in the manual f***ing read it. actually there is an alternative - find a good php5 programmer and pay him/her to teach you. (@ 50-100 euros/hour).... makes the manual look more appealing if nothing else.
