Re: Tutorial for the structure of an php-app ?

Learning from something concrete, how they do things, looking into why they chose to do it that, etc. Don't pick just one, though, as there are many examples to learn from. CMSes (Drupal, Joomla), Wikis (Mediawiki, PmWiki), Blog software (Wordpress). These all solve similar and different problems. Also, I cannot stress Tommy's point about learning design patterns enough. It isn't enough to be able to just cable together code, you have to know the structures and architecture to building something that won't fall down. Programming isn't something you learn in a weekend project. It's also not something you learn just by reading a language manual, even one as good as PHP's. No language manual is going to give you any insight into deciding among the many options that are available.
