Hiya, I know some basic HTML but I need to learn php. I´m looking for a book which will give me a good grounding in how it works assuming I know nothing (which in fact is true!!). There´s so much stuff out there I need some recommends!!
Thanks

Any book by O'reilly for php is great. The normal php book is great, and the cookbook will walk you through example applications from start to finish.

O'reilly PHP Books
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b?...o%27reilly+php

I would also suggest picking up a mysql book as well as these 2 tend to go hand in hand. Good luck with your searching!

Tizag.com has a PHP section with lessons of real life examples. Not a substitution for a book, but definitely worth taking a look at.

Bizzar - whats 'The normal php book'? I cant seem to find anything regarding that on google.

I actually don't own 1 single php book and thought it was about time I bought one. I seem to be wearing out the php manual site (www.php.net)
