Might so be, but on the other hand, some languages are better
suited to start to learn than others. (If we now are talking
about learning to do programming, and not just learning php).
It use to be said:

BASIC, learn only language
PASCAL, read only language
C, write only languge

php is a derivate of C... I think that stands for it self when
it comes to the learning cure of php.

>I still find the maual quite complex (must just be me :s). 

Interesting, because I find the manual quite clear cut and easy to use.

Only becasue of speed optimization (some people name it lazyness)
I use to, from time to time, ask a coullegue of mine "what's da
bloody name of the php function that do this-and-that?"

Otherwis one only has to search on an ANSI-C library function
name, and one monstly find somthing then. And if that does not
help, then spending some time rading the online manual resolve it.
The arguments are quite the same as in C, typless thou, and for
me php feels like a cute user "friendly" wraped C interpreter.

Well, maybe one gets brain damage after been writing code for to
long. Must be some gover-mental fund for this were one is allowed
to reclaim some bucks, or?

Anyhow, I still think that the guys who wrote the online manula
really should have all honour for that. It's probably been a
great contribution on to why php is spread as it is today.
