php tutorials

I want to learn PHP , So what is the best tutorial/video out there for PHP?

thanks

I'm not sure if this is the best, but this is a good tutorial

indeed, that is the best place to learn - straight from the source.
Thats where I got my beginnings of php also, still a ways to go for me

My fav. is http://www.phpfreaks.com . There's a whole lot of info over there, and most of the tutorials are well structured so its easy to understand. You may also want to visit forums.devshed.com

Im with Heathrowe on this one, Read through source, quite often it's commented, and whatever you don't understand, check up on the php manual(why else would http://www.php.net/fuctionhere) redirect to the part of the manual you want?

The advantage of reading source is that you fully understand what each line does, whereas quite often tutorials are more or less uncommented code snippets.

:D

I just got the book SAMS Learn PHP in 24 Hours, it is great, I have learned quite a bit in 2 hours.

I made this after reading 2 chapters of SAMS Learn PHP in 24 Hours: http://i.gravity-host.com/index.php

I really don't like those SAMS books. I have a SAMs C++ 6 book. It didn't help very much. I eventually learned C++, and went back to find a couple errors in the book. I recommend the site that I posted. It is the manual, and in many cases, the user comments are extremely helpful.
