Best place to learn PhP?

[CoderXI]

What website would be the best for learning PHP. . I already been through w3schools.


Most youtube videos uploaders start the tutorial for 3 vids then bam their done forever.

A reply I made to one of the posts @ w3 forums regarding h/is/er learning of PHP:

<?php

echo "Hello World";
?>

The code above would be the best piece to start off. There is so much possibility with just 'Echo' to use. I suggest you move on next to learning variable handling, after that, learn 'If' statements.

After that you should have the basic grasp of the language where you could pretty much 'talk' and 'reason' by speaking PHP. It's a language, remember, only that it's more technical, optimized, and you have a few selections of words to choose.

Well video tutorial about programming is in my opinion fail at the very assumption.

As for the learning it self, there are dozens of tutorials online, but the possible way I think, is need to create something specific based on what is already done. In other words, download some sources, modify it and observe what changes, at least that's how I learnt it.

You can get the basics from W3Schools Online Web Tutorials, but they won't give you nearly enough training for big projects.

It all comes down to how much you are interested in learning it, when it comes to my learning method.

When I was learning, I would think of something that was simple, that I wanted to be able to make, then I'd find a site with it completely coded with a downloadable source, then I would mess around with it. Change variables, find out what if statements are effecting, etc.

Eventually it started getting to the point where I'd pick up on methods, and be able to put together my own scripts. From there, it's just practice.

See that's what most people do, just do that. Actually works after few months of practicing.

If you simply look at the examples of how each method works/is used. And read some comments you'll get rolling in no time.
