    Its a paid membership but the tutorials are pretty good.

    Lol, I just searched the PHP forum for "learning", and there were like a million results. So I picked these. :D

    It's probably worthwhile putting together a mammoth guide to learning PHP and get it stickied.

    I suspect it would be a mammoth post as well.

    The best way you can learn and expand your PHP/MySQL knowledge is by practicing it.

    To learn the syntax, I recommend that you buy a book and keep it for future references too.

    Peace,

    1. learn how to show output with php, using echo, print is slower
    2. learn how to connect to mysql
    3. learn how to select from database n show result. then learn insert, update, delete etc
    4. get free simple php script n try read it. If dont understand refer www.php.net
    5. using free script, modified the script to meet you u need, play with it
    6. read other ppl script. try understand how it works
    7. try make you own script from scratch

    this is not ultimate guide, but this is how i learned php n mysql :D

    I agree. I was thinking the same earlier. There are so many people asking for the best way to learn.
