PHP learning

[Aline]

I think I want to learn some PHP stuff... where would be the best place to start?

Any tips from the pros?

I'm more of an ASP guru - never really looked at PHP

Thanks

These two sites are pretty good for the start: php.net and phpbuilder.

Download the PHP manual as a CHM file, and you should be mostly fine if you have experience with other scripting languages.

Sometimes user comments added to the documentation on php.net help though

First, install PHP on your machine. No better place to practice. Best thing is, it'll work with PWS, IIS or Apache.

Install MySQL as well.
