Learning PHP

Is this a difficult task? I want to learn more about it. What kind of classes are out there for this or where should I start. Is this something that comes from a networking background or a coding background?

It's very much like C++. It's a object oriented programming language.

*chuckle* I agree, but I must say that "It's very much like C++" is the "It tastes just like chicken" line of the computing world.

I grabbed Wrox's Professional PHP and didn't have any problems, but then I was already a software developer at that point. I would describe it as uncomplicated yet polished.

Well, by being 'like C++' I meant that the structures are similar. If statements, logic, that sort of stuff. As opposed to being 'like VB'.

I wasn't being critical. You are right it does use a grammatical structure comparable to the C family rather than VB/ASP, but I am sure that you could see my point.
