PHP's documentation is awesome. I strongly suggest you read sections I, III, IV, V, and whatever function references you think may be relavent to what you want to do. As far as function references go ... at the very least read:

- Array Functions
- CType Functions (useful for validating user input from forms)
- Date & Time Functions
- Error Handling & Logging Functions
- PCRE Functions (also useful for validating user input from forms)
- String Functions (useful for general string manipulation, which you will have to do ... also useful for validating user input from forms)
- Functions relavent to the database system you might use.

Also worth checking out:
- PHP Cheat Sheet
- PHP PCRE Cheat Sheet
- Whatever other PHP links I've got here

You could start at w3 schools, they have loads of clear and free tutorials and references for a wide variety of things, PHP included.

You shout visit php.net for the newest informations, but not for learning it! go on search by google: something like "PHP TUTORIAL".... :D

Yea, I guess all the time I spent reading PHP's documentation was for naught. :|


First of all, 90% of the PHP "tutorials" out there are variations of what's in the documentation to begin with. Second of all ... what do you think the documentation is for? Code samples, user comments, details of usage (i.e. argument order, return values, gotchas). Sure, it won't teach you how to implement a website or structure a database, but unless you consider "copying & pasting code from tutorials" the same as "learning" then you need the documentation first and foremost. You can read all the tutorials you want, but if you don't know what the functions are doing then you're wasting your time.
