Hey, I have been doing flash for like 5 months and have learned lots.  
But I would like to get into php, but can’t really find a site where it info for beginnners.

I know nothing about php atm, and I would like to be able to create a easy site for my team, with news and guestbook, depending on how hard it is.

Anyone know of some good sites? I have checked some of the sites on the tutorial post on the forum, but most of it is to advanced, since i don’t know anyithng about php. And how did you guys start learning php?

Thanks,  
fatnslow

I second the recommendation for a good book.

You might also want to take a look at PHP’s website. They have the complete manual available online, and lots of other resources.

A book is how I learned  
[www.codewalkers.com](http://www.codewalkers.com) is also good.  
and [www.php.net](http://www.php.net) is awesome when you are having problems with a certain function.

Are you using dreamweaver? Then you should try the recordstore tutorial from [macromedia.com](http://macromedia.com)
