Read Read Read Read Read Read Read. 90% of PHP code out there is pure total crap. Chances are if youre learning it by reading someone elses code, its like learning nutrition from.. say.. Rosanne Arnold. I know its always tempting to try to learn as fast as you can and jump in and start coding right away, but take your time and really learn it. Most PHP programmers dont.
PHP's curse is that its a little too easy, people pick up a copy of 'Teach your self web programming with PHP in 24 hours!" and think they are master web programmers. Most PHP programs are a mess of spahgetti code that rivals even the messiest perl code.
If you have the cash to shell out 20 bux a month I would suggest a subscription to safari.oreilly.com. Its a digital library of Oreilly books (other publishers as well) with books on all aspects of programming.
