Hi all,
I want to learn PHP. CAn anyone suggest me online site for studying PHP

well, I suggest http://www.techtuts.com, the tutorials can be a little messy as they are written by teenagers But it's the site I got a grasp on most of the php I know. And of course php.net is an important one when you need a function for a specific thing, chances are it's built in.

huummm... thnx

The best site is at the horse mouth frankly speaking http://www.php.net/ has all you need especially the documentation.

W3 Schools, http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/DEfaULT.asP

WebMonkey. Simply the best written tutorials I've encountered otherwise
Google for "php tutorial". There are loads. Then think up a project, and start writing it. Keep consulting www.php.net for help with any function that you need assistance with. That's how I learned.

yep, webmonkey is great. Not just for php. Their tutorials are simple to follow and they don't take any giant leaps of assumption.
If im looking at a tutorial I tend to look up things mentioned in the tutorial on php.net for further information on the function etc

It is also very useful to buy a book. Just get a used one off of amazon or something if you don't want to spend too much money. When I first started learning I read PHP & MySQL for Dummies. It was pretty useful, but at times it did not explain things very clearly. There are several other books that you can choose from. I think the books can almost be better than websites sometimes.

I want to unlearn php...its completely useless >

useless :O, I suppose if you are a c master or have no interest in web development then it is useless :/

OP: Best way to learn PHP depends on your current experience or knowledge of programming in general. If you have never programmed before, you want to pick up a basic book, like a PHP for dummies type book.

If you are familiar with programming and understand the C style syntax you should still get a book but one more advanced that focuses more on using PHP for interesting projects, like building shopping carts, forums, etc.

The best way to learn is to read, do and if you experience problems visit a online forum and ask lots of questions.

I personally favour devnetwork.net for anything LAMP related, plus the community is fairly focused on best practices -- which are important if you want to make a career out of it.

Good luck
