Re: I Want To Learn PHP

When things go wrong, you can also get help from his active website with up-to-date errata, downloads and a discussion forum.

This book has been superceded by later variations. You can find a copy in a used book store for only a few dollars. Or try the latest edition, "PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Web Sites". If you want to learn PHP, you're going to want to learn mySQL before too long.

Working in PHP is great fun. Enjoy!

I second the use of Larry Ullman's books. They're easy to understand and unlike most technical books, they aren't completely dry.
