Hallo all im starting to learn php and i was wondering if you guys know of a site which is good to learn it from? have allready read a book on the subject but need to look at some scripts aswell and maybe read some tutorials- thank you:agree:

Go and download SMF, Joomla, Wordpress, install them to some small hosting package and play with them. Best way to learn after a book.

ok sounds good, so you would recommend that instead of a website then?

If you mean starting off a new website from scratch, no I don't recommend it.

Actually I recommend you to have a look at SMF, try creating modifications for it to be released on the official SMF website. SMF coding is pretty neat and easy to understand. You can learn many things from it.

All good coders I know either have no website or a dead one. Having a busy website to maintain with content etc leaves you less time to develop applications on PHP.

But for starting, the opposite is recommended. To create a unique website based on SMF, joomla or wordpress, makes you learn faster.

In short: install a free package as you website, try to enhance it yourself. After some time, you will find yourself pretty happy with the PHP itself, so you won't try to have a busy website.

Which PHP book did you get? I have a lot of them, and there are definitely some that I would not recommend. A good PHP book will provide you with tutorials and scripts for common techniques and things you want to do with PHP for a website, which is why I ask.

How to start do everything with php and mysql.
and a other book i cant remember the name off.. but they were ok i quess but i feel i need to do something myself to learn more..

do know think, that playing with CMS is the best choice to learn PHP. may be for html or css to play with code is nice, but not php

ok thanks all been alot of good advice i will try them out and come back to you

Not all CMS, but specifically SMF.

PLaying with things like JOomla will just leave you confused because of the complexity of the code that is used in the frontend.
To be honest, if you're looking to learn, get yourself PHP and MYSQL for Dummies V2, or hop on over to www.w3schools.com/php (http://www.w3schools.com/php)
