Where to start???

I know asking a lot of questions is a good way to learn something, so I will start with the most obvious one.

Where is the best place/source to learn PHP scripting.

Any books to recommend.

I have found quiet a few site. But they all tent to cater to those who know something about PHPs already. So for someone completely new to PHPs where should I go to learn?

I found [url=http://www.w3schools.com]www.w3schools.com[/url], which helped me get started on HTML, and JavaScript, XML. Since I ripped through that site, I have actually created 3 sites from scratch, with requests for more. So now it is time to tackle PHPs.

So if anyone could lead me in the right direction that would be great.

Thanks

@p2bcauthorAug 07.2003 — Thank, my tab for you is getting pretty big.

One question, is PHP like SQL. Because I am quiet familuar to a certain degree with FileMaker Pro, and databases. And I found this document on PHP, and they mention SQL, and databases a bit.

@pyroAug 07.2003 — No, PHP is not like SQL, though PHP and MySQL go together like a hand in a glove... See, PHP is a serverside programming language, while SQL (or rather, MySQL) is a database (and the language used to query it).

Success!
