    Up until know I have used online resources to modify scripts. At one time I was haldf decnt in basic and that has helped me a lot but now I want to start from the beginning and really learn this language.

    What are the best books for learning php?

    I would like to see sample script, be told what it does and how to use it.

    PHP and MySQL Web Development by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson is pretty good.

    Sitepoint has a PHP Mysql book which is very very practical and really good. You also can use PHP Cookbook by Oreilly which is useful for your referance and understanding php colaborations.
