I needed to know what would be a good book to get to learn PHP
I know a little about it but I would like to know a great deal more and I needed to know where would be a good place to start.

Php and Mysql Web Development by Luke Welling and Laura Thompson is what I use...

and downloading the PHP manual is a smart thing to do...

You might want to stall buying that book I mentioned; I remember catching a glimpse of their soon-to-be-published book - PHP 5.

I see you found variable variables... as you can see there's a specific reason to use them.

I was reading that section lastnight on variables but to be honest I'm going to read it again. I got so lost when I got to Variables, Dynamiv Variables, Operators and Expressions and Data Type. So I'll have to reread that section and see if I can understand it a little better.
