All the OOP stuff should be easy for you if you already know C++.

But PHP programming is completely different than C++ programming
regarding all the form stuff and superglobal variables that you have
to learn (like $_POST). It's still a script language and not a
compiled language like C++. Therefore you have to understand another
session model and that a web server cannot recognize you as user per
se. So you have to learn PHP session handling as well. These are all
issues that you can learn with PHP 4 as well.

I am offering an online course for PHP (still in version 4) in Germany
for which I received a lot of positive feedback. It is well worth the
price, because some people understands it better that the PHP books.

I am currently translating these to English, so that I can offer them
on the English speaking market as well.

Generally, you should look if a course is of good quality. Always try
to get a demo or some free stuff first. Most of the German courses
that I have taken as a learner was cheap crap that costs me a lot of
money. This is not true for my courses but I'm not telling you the URL
here ;-)
