Yeah thenewboston is a good place for starters.

But in terms of depth, it's not that great. (Though by then, I'd hope most people will be able to learn just straight off from PHP's documentation)

I'd love to learn PHP but rumor is that you need to know a good bit of HTML.

Haha. It would help knowing HTML, but it's really quite simple. There's no difficult concepts, and it's literally just some formatting and text, lmao. PHP is a great language and super applicable in a lot of circumstances.

One of my friends once called PHP "The poor man's ASP"; he was a Microsoft fan, haha. Thanks for the post.

Hmm could use this thank you so much man!

If you want to make something useful, sort of. I've made a couple of useful things, but they required a little bit of HTML.

Once you start the learning process, provided you take the time to understand each phase, It's not really that difficult.

I'm sure you've come across this site, It's where I started with PHP and upon completion, progressed via other sources. Along with my contribution here, It'll well and truly give you a very good understanding of the language.

You're very welcome guys.

Much agree.

PHP Is a very powerful language. I'm glad I took the time to learn It.

You should murder him in his sleep. Haha.

Spoiler:

For legal reasons, I don't actually recommend you do that.

If that's true then Winblows is the intellectually undeveloped man's Linux.
