    if you want to be a ace, learn all these.

    PHP/MySQL
    CSS coding
    Photoshop
    SEO

    yes, it is possible to learn php/mysql in 20days. Always keep PHP Manual in your desktop to refer it.

    It depend on what degree do you want to learn , to master it or to learn it .

    According to Sams Publishing, you can learn PHP and MySQL in as little as 48 hours.

    It actually doesn't take too long to learn the basics of MySQL and PHP. However, don't expect to become an expert in only a few weeks. It takes years and a lot of hard work to become an expert. I've been working with both PHP and MySQL for several years and am still not close to being an expert - I just learn things as I have time.

    Start with the basics and make a simple webapplication using the MVC.
    Then you'll be flying in no time. And yes it's absolutely necessary to learn CSS to design websites.

    I think a programming language is like anything else - you can learn enough to get around within one week. You can learn enough to be fairly good within one month. You can learn enough to be highly competent within one year. But it takes years to be a master. :)

    As someone with a previous background in programming (C/C++), you will have a much easier time than someone who doesn't understand concepts like variables, data structures, objects, etc.

    "i know php" and "i know php" and two pair of shoes.

    i do this stuff for 10 years, i did a lot of cool stuff and make my living off it, and still i will not say that i am a master of it.

    i can accomplish most goals set, but to be honest, more than half of php´s functions i never even used.


    sure, if you have basic html skills and a nice person directly on your side who guides you, you can well learn php within some hours to have the first success-feelings...
    like making pages that include(); header & footer... when you are used to normal html, alone this header/footer-including is already a nice, amazing experience.

    Hi,
    If u already know C++ I think u can start learning PHP/MySQL with some cookbook because you already know how to use an if or a while statement :)

    PS: don't start with PHP manual ;))
