Right now since my money is tight because of some automobile problems I was wondering if anyone had an EBook for introduction to PHP or something along those lines, I have gone through references on the web but it seems I'm more of a book reader when it comes to learning these languages. I appreciate your time. Thanks

If you've programmed before, PHP isn't really all that hard. Hell, contact me on AIM (AngryHickClown) and I'll get you started. In the meantime...

www.phpbuilder.com to get the basics down,
ww.php.net/apifunction to look up an api call.

Good Deal, I've been reading the "from the ground up" tutorials which mostly just discussed installing PHP, and checking if your server supports mySQL. I think it lead me up to PHP Arrays, which to put it are more easier then I could ever think of. Right now I found a more in depth tutorial and I'm reading about the settype() and gettype() calls right now. I will message you when I got the time, thanks a lot storm.

Once you get the syntax down, the hardest part is finding the names of the functions, which is still extremely easy due to the uber-docs.

I still don't recommend PHP for large projects.

Such as, say, a certain clan's forum?

This isn't a large project? I'm talking about a database backed e-commerce site with users in China, Europe, and the US, with a fully automated inquiry system and part number database.
