PHP for Intermediates?

[thilina1024]

I'm a final year student of BIT degree. I couldn't do the project this time. So, I hope to submit it at the next time. First, I had decided to do it in Java. Later, I've been thinking of doing it using PHP. I think that would be great for experience. I've learnt a bit of PHP basics using W3Schools, etc. Since I've some knowledge in programming & web (Java,HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ajax, MySql, etc), I think that I will be able to learn it easier than a beginner. Now, what I want to know is any better ways to learn php (web or books). It would be better if you can suggest me anything after considering the above & the following facts too.

- Fast learning
- Good examples

I got the following two books. Have anyone used them?. Any reviews?.

Learning PHP, MySQL & JavaScript - Robin Nixon - 2009
PHP Solutions - Dynamic Web Design Made Easy - 2nd Edition - David Powers - 2010

What about PHP/Java bridge?

Thanx a lot

The best book I read on PHP until now.

Bro, apparently, it's for advance use rite?. Do you think that it's not too much for my objective?.

• First learn the basics.. (Ex :- Syntax, variables, functions, loops etc...)
• Then try to develop some small individual applications. (Ex:- User registration, Login etc...)
• Then try to combine them together and develop a small system.
• Once you're finished with that start learning OO PHP. It's better you can learn a PHP framework. As a beginner, I would recommend CodeIgniter.

It will take around 2-3 months to learn these things depending on your commitment.

If you learned php on W3schools, dome a favour and start learning php5 now! or one day, you will be stick to php4 with no OOP skills at all. Good luck!

Finally, I started to use "Learning PHP, MySQL & JavaScript" book. I decided to improve my basic knowledge in those 3 subjects. & as it has mentioned in the book, there is a section which guides to build a simple social network. & there is a bit of OOP & AJAX too. Since I have a background & familiarity in programming & web, I think that learning all these subjects together will be a great experience for me. I've configured xampp & now using Eclipse PDT .

If anyone can tell me a few good php forums, that would be great.

Thank you all.
