Hey,
One suggestion is to do some of the online tutorials. w3schools.com,
devzone.zend.com, and php.net/tut.php are all sites I found in a
simple google search for "php tutorials". I've done some stuff with
w3schools and I found their tutorial quite good for the basics. Maybe
try them before spending any money.

Hello!
I want to start learning PHP but honestly don't know where to start. I've
never programmed before. (I only know HTML and CSS)
I've checked http://us2.php.net/support.php for help and found a books
link
but it goes to a wide selection of PHP books on Amazon and don't know
which
to pick.
I was thinking about Programming PHP by Kevin Tatroe, Peter MacIntyre and
Rasmus Lerdorf (Feb 22, 2013) but reviews said that it's too advanced for
a
beginner that never programmed before.
Can someone give me an advice where I should start?
Thank you in advance!
First of all; to all: do NOT top-post in this newsgroup.
Secondly, I would strongly advise _against_ using w3schools. The website
in question gives the appearance of being affiliated with w3c (the world
wide web consortium), but it's not. Unfortunately, w3schools has also
often given incorrect information and claimed various techniques as
"standard" while incorrectly using them. [http://www.w3fools.com/]
Anyway, I would personally suggest trying other places to learn from :)
(and I learned it from the book you mentioned by Kevin Tatroe and Rasmus
Lerdorf; albeit a much older version)
