PHP & MySQL Resources?
Anyone know of some good PHP tutorial/resource websites that would be useful to someone learning PHP? I know PHP's website has an excellent documentation, but I'm looking for other resources. Websites that offer tutorials or guides must be up to date. I'm currently using PHP 5 (5.5 to be exact) so I don't want any outdated content.
I'm also open to video lessons/tutorials. I've found some decent stuff on YouTube. Are there any particular channels that cover PHP & MySQL well?
Hope to hear from some of you and thanks in advance!

I'll second the lynda.com recommendation.
Also, I don't think this is on their home page but :
http://www.lynda.com/trial/
has a 7 day trial. I think the homepage is just a preview account with no content?phpwebhosting.com - affordable, quality hosting since 1999.

There are books available in libraries such as the For Dummies series of programming books. Or, phpacademy is a good YouTube channel that has some pretty good videos. You could also learn from codecademy.com

Codecademy is where I learned to code HTML and CSS. But, they only teach you limited stuff. So for me, I had to go to http://www.w3schools.com to learn the complete list of tags etc. for HTML and CSS. PHP is a lot different. Stackoverflow has lots of user submitted questions that would help as you go along with PHP.

Apart from general PHP tutorials are you looking for something specific ? Like for example how to create word documents or pdf documents using php etc then head straight to http://www.sitepoint.com/php/

If you want good videos, then Team Treehouse offers quite a bit of videos on coding (however, it's a paid service). I'd also take a look at the PHP documentation for the MySQLi and PDO extensions

I second the suggestion for w3schools.com. They have quite a few tutorials on a wide variety of things, whether it is php, css, html, javascript, which you will probably have to learn all 4 in the long run.
Your best bet is to start working with a CMS like Drupal or Wordpress, and reading some of the modules/plugins, and understanding how that works, and build your own. That'll teach you a ton.Komputer King Web Hosting
