    Books(and eBooks for that matter) are a great way to study, though, If you're more of a hands on and self-learning type of person
    or if you have any experience in other languages, it would be a lot easier to learn PHP using PHP.net's Documentation, i would download a copy and start reading through it, you'd be surprised how easy it is to learn through it.
    here is the link to the latest online version of the documentation in english:
    http://www.php.net/manual/en/

    I learned PHP by reading tutorials and books, but before i learned php i already know some other programming languages that's why it's more quicker and easy for me to understand PHP.

    It took me 3 weeks to learn PHP.

    The only problem that you will encounter in learning PHP is the logic of the script or program that you are making.

    The most important thing is the concepts and logics, these are the bread and butter of any programming language.
    you should know the basics well before moving on always.
