Thanks for the suggestion on the book!! I got the idea of making a game from php from all my friends. I had quite a few make some pretty decent games, and I always asked how they did it. I figured it couldnt be too hard seeing as some of these people were like 13 and 14 year olds making these games and im 23! lol All of these games they made were all horse, dog, or cat sim games, so maybe that just works with what they wanted to do. I was going to start with a real simple horse game just to get the hang of it, but eventually I want to do something different but similar in style.

Hi everyone!! Im pretty new to the php world, and likewise to the computer programming world. Im interested in learning php to develop a game I have been planning for over a year now. As mentioned above, my programming knowledge is very limited if any. With that being said, Id like some suggestions on some begining php books. Everytime I go to amazon, or ebay or even on php.net on their book list, there are so many on so many different subjects. I started the php manual a few days ago and when I got to chapter 2 it started talking about some things and it said "if you dont understand this, pick up a beginer php book" So anyways, I would just love some suggestions. As well if you know of any other books, like basics of programming or languages that may help to read before the php Id love to know as well. Keeping in mind I plan to go to school in the fall for programming, so I just want anything to help me understand the php books!! Thanks!
