Hiya,

I've found some good beginner tutorials covering most aspects of PHP at:

http://www.devshed.com

The current top 2 feature articles are "User Authentication with Apache
and PHP" and "Building a quick and dirty PHP/MySQL Publishing System"

The PHP section of DevShed has quite a number of past articles. The
articles tend to be very well written and sometimes quite funny (The guys
from Melonfire tend to have informative but funny articles)

I totally agree with Warren's advise about picking targetted assignments
and just doing them to learn PHP.

PHP like Linux and most other worthwhile efforts are subject to
the following acronym TAANSTAFL (There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free
Lunch). You will probably waste more time searching for a magic PHP bullet
and learn less than just bearing down and learning it via a good book and
setting specific learning goals for yourself....(jus my .02 cents)

Hope that helps!
	Sharky
