learning`

[SporQ]

There's tons of sites out there with great tutorials...

http://www.onlamp.com/php/
http://www.zend.com/
http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP
http://www.phppatterns.com/index.php/link/category/1/
(check the links on the bottom of this one for more)

As for books. I always liked the "Visual Quickstart Guide" series. There is a PHP one. Very good books for approaching something you have no clue about. Better than the Dummies/Idiots books IMO.

And money no option? There's always college.... ...though, that wouldn't meet your "quick" needs. :p

The final option, being quickest and easiest. Have Tank upload php skills directly to your brain through your neck plug...

http://www.php.net/ is the home of PHP. there are some great code examples and references there. also, at the bottom of every page is a "show source" link. click it to see how they built that page.

i taught myself PHP entirely from their website in about 4 days. very handy stuff.
