Obviously some books are better than others; I won't mention any here as there are quite a few threads about good PHP books. >From there, I just looked into what I thought I needed to know as I came across it. It's a bit haphazard, but it did the trick. Mostly though, I think if you find a good book, that should break things down well enough that anyone can pick it up and follow along. You don't have to follow a book linearly though, I found myself often focusing in more depth into something a book only mentioned briefly because it either sounded interesting or I needed to know more for a project. Bit of a ramble there, but maybe it'll help? Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
