Moderator:Moderators
Hey guys, do any of you know of a good tutorial that I can learn PHP from? Googleing didn't yield me any satisfactory results and I'd like to learn the proper way to do it.

This site sometimes have nice tutorials for programming. If you're willing to drop money I would say that if you can take a class, teachers are invaluable for inforamtion on learning a language's syntax. If you don't have that kind of money a good book could be almost as helpful. Then if you want you can plug the fellas here for information, a good number of them know PHP (I am not one of them

w3schools.com, baby. 
PHP.net's beginner tutorial's also fairly nice, didn't get very involved though from memory. Maybe start on it, then switch to w3?
Actually, the biggest hurdle is normally getting a server/compatible webspace to test on. XAMPP is a very nice package, which includes an Apache server, PHP, Perl, the MySQL database server, and various other bits and pieces - all put together with the developer in mind. Run the exe on your system and you'll have a nice development environment in which to practice PHP, and even learn to use MySQL databases.
Can provide more info if you're interested.
