hey paul,
php is not like html. HTML is a markup language and PHP is a
scripting languange. Once you get through installing PHP, it is not like
HTML where you start with the basic tags and learn them one by one. PHP
has functions and you need to know which funcitons you need for the
right job. I would recommend phpfreaks.com. That is where I started and
probably a beginners book or a reference book. If you do not have any
programming experience, you are best off getting a beginners guide which
will explain concepts along with the code. PHP is easy to use, but not
quite as easy as HTML and CSS.
PHP also has an online manual with examples which is on par with no
other manual that I have found (with the exceptionn of maybe MySQL). So
looking up functions online on their site is also a good starting place.....
