start with an understanding of object oriented programming in general, then do cakePHP or codelighter those are frameworks that after a few uses will allow you a much faster speed and development time.
For books you can go to Barnes and Noble and look up either of those frameworks, my guess is you will enjoy cakePHP its simple to use and lots of books.I could give two shits wether you read this sig or not.Comment

Very much worth it

i was bored one night and walked into a borders a couple years back and spent like $250 bucks on php books.
the most helpful and best book imo getting into php/mysql is larry ullman php and mysql for dynamic web sites second edition.
seriously i broke into all 8-10 the books i got and this is the only one i use heh.Comment

php.net + http://www.w3schools.com/ = pretty much every ref you will ever need online.
I like keeping the peachpit press guide, as well as the oreilly pocket manual handy as well.

I completely agree
This was the absolute nail-on-the-head that got me fully immersed into PHP and all things related, especially Kevin Yank's "Build your own database driven websites using PHP/MySQL" that book was so well written that you couldn't help but come away with an excellent understanding of how to start even the most basic database driven web app without much hassle.
My best advice to anyone wanting to pickup PHP is, start simple, find a project that won't take over a month to do, and accomplish it first. Don't try to start working on a full-fleged CMS system for 100+ sites.
Also, as someone mentioned, CakePHP is and, as far as I'm concerned still is, the best framework for PHP. But at least learn the basics of PHP before you start learning a framework. The framework will just put form to your spaghetti code ;) Good lucK!

fuck those pricks - do not give them a cent
I disagree - for learning, always best to have a book
php 5 bible is perfect, do a few of the tutorials then apply a few small things to real scripts that you want and you will build on your knowledge very quickly IMO.
EDIT - however php.net is awesome too, I personally like a book as reference when learning, easier than pouring through pages upon pages of shit when you're not sure what you're searching for.Last edited by georgeyw; 08-16-2009, 02:19 AM.TripleXPrint on Megan Fox

That's the one you need right there. The Larry Ullman book is ok but not nearly as comprehensive. php.net/manual is where you go when you know what you are looking for but you don't know what you're looking for when you first start. Also a good grounding in C++ helps a lot, in fact if you know C++ you're probably 60% of the way there with PHP5.Comment

Make yourself familiar with the basic concepts of programming (object oriented programming) first.---

thanx for book recommendations in here, I am always looking for new books to buy and read. Staring at a pc screen to read and learn for hours (after working all day on stuff) begins to hurt my eyes I like to relax in bed with a book and read and take notes in notebook old school way... but obviously much can be learned for free online.
