This site has actual scripts that you can view to learn how PHP is used. Often it’s easier to learn something if you can walk through the code. |

PHP is a great language to learn! I’m primarily a .NET developer, however, I love using PHP and I find myself using PHP for different sites I create more and more. There are a variety of great resources available to you. Take some time, relax and use some of these resources to learn PHP!
Enjoy!
