          Kevin Yank's "Build your own database driven website using php and mysql" book rocks. It's what I first started with along with many others.

                  Very good, also a kickass resource when you need to look stuff up. Their follow up Professional PHP or soemthing to that effect has everything you could ever need for the next level, even though beginning PHP gets pretty advanced in some areas. Killer MySQL integration too.

                      I agree. At least you know they haven't missed anything.

                          TDavid's 16 part PHP course at http://www.scriptschool.com/ is really good. Once you have the basics, I've found that the best way to learn is through practice, looking at other people's source code to see how it works, and looking up functions on php.net as you need them.

                          I'd also recommend getting a free trial at http://safari.informit.com/

                              only publisher in tech books thats worth a damned is O'Reilly. got 3 of them on my desk right now.

                              online courses are good to read, but a good book is much better. and you always have it nice and handy to look back at.

                                      I just checked it out and they have a chapter on building a members only website which is exactly what I want.

                                      thanks!
