Hi, I’m looking to learn PHP for a project i will be working on. I already understand HTML and CSS. Could someone possible point me into the right direction on how i can learn PHP from scratch. For building/integrating common functionality you would normally find on websites e.g. [Login/Registration, Download Section, Blogs, Forums]. I would prefer videos tutorials. I already have understanding of a programming language as well. Therefore, i want to be able to create some common features you would find on everyday websites.

I used CodeCademy, it’s a nice little site!

First of all I second this, it is very good advice. And also make sure that you do a fun project when you start out. I know my first project was to build a simple forum and a friend of mine started out with building a simple textbased game (games might not be the best for startup projects thou because they can be quite tricky to code)

Since you prefer video tutorials I can recommend you check out Bucky over at the new boston. He has a lot of good videos on programming that are very beginner friendly. I have never watched his PHP tutorials but I am sure they are just as good as everything else.
You can find his PHP videos here
