tizag.com is the best starting point of learning php, or mysql, or javascript or etc. ;)

I can see that! This guide is immense.

You know I could never just read a book or tuturial and fully understand how php works. What I had to do was memorize most of the basic commands from the net and books, then I had to see how other scripts like phpBB used them to work. That is how I learned but every now and then I come across something that I never read about or experimented with and I have trouble but I suppose that is part of learning.

I had to play around with scripts. Experiment with things. I tried to build many scripts, and than I started to understand how PHP worked.
