So can someone answer me that. My problem is I want to start learning PHP and im at a loss as to buy a book or just learn off the net… Which way do you think i should do it for the best/easiest way of learning?

Or should i buy and book and use the internet too. I think i just answered my own question.

So the next question would be if it a book i need which one is good for someone who knows nothing but wants to do hands on useful lessons in the subject.
