How did you start learning php?

I want to learn php but don't know where to look.

By 2005 I hope to run a fnatasy football site using PHP.

If you already know how to program learning php will be simple. It was my 20th language and it took me like a week to pick it up, though I am always learning new tricks with it.

If you do not already know how to program, learn that first. Learn the theories and methodologies behind programming then learn php. I don't recommend php as a first language cause it is a special purpose language and you're better off to learn a general purpose language (like C or Java) first.

my love of PHP, and it is like a sexual affair (ohhhhhhhh $_POST[]....what?), came as a necessity. as with your fantasy football deal, you should really look online. my first lessons came from WebMonkey and since then I've just read other people's code and worked my own style off of that. another good site for some PHP stuff is evolt.org I like evolt because they have a nice login script that could come in useful to learn from.
