I want to learn PHP in about 3-4 months and the only thing that comes to mind is an effective book or a set of books. I want something with examples to practice and that is complete. Thank you.
a better bet is to check out some online tutorials http://in2.php.net/tut.php or http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/DEfaULT.asP Practice them as your reading. It could help you learn quicker
