[SOLVED] Beginner

Hello,

I am wanting to learn PHP so as to build a new website. I have tons of experience w/ plain old HTML. My question to all of you is where should I start? Unfortunately I don't have a whole lot of other exp. I can understand the basics in most programming languages but when I say the basics I truly mean "The Basics". Any help you guys could give me would be fantastic.

P.S. I thought about getting a book but my funding is a bit short. I am trying to get the most out of the resources on the internet.  ???

I bought a book on PHP when I first started learning it.  What did I learn?  That the PHP website was far better and FREE.  Seriously, if you have "the basics" in programming, reading the PHP docs should be enough to learn from.  All PHP does, really, is generate HTML in the end (except for the gd library).

Start with "Getting Started" and "Language Reference"

 

There are plenty of examples, and the user comments are often (but not always) helpful.
