How to learn more about php?

---

Written by alalex

If we want to learn more about php there are basically two things that will help, all the others might, but are not as useful...

The first thing to do of course is practice, just anything you think that can be possible to do with php, try to do it, try to copy stuff you see others do with php, learn from imitating those who already know.
The other thing that works is reading, read, read, read, until your head aches, anything that has to do with php you shoud read it, and for that, I created this post.

Probably the best you can actually read to learn php is blogs like this one that talk about it, the other things that will have useful information about it are books.

A great site that will help you a lot in this matter is the website FreeComputerBooks.com which is full of interesting books about pretty much any subject related to computers.

After some research, I have created myself a list of good books to read, here it is:

- PHP Essentials (At Technotopia)
- Building a database-driven website (At MySQL AB)
- Practical PHP Programming (At HudZilla)

I think that to get a decent level of php those are some basics, plus, they have the benefit of being free!
So have luck with your php learning, and if you have any doubts, just go to the php forum here at frihost!
