Have you had a look at w3schools?

They have things explained really well and I think you'll learn a lot from that site.

Here's the link to their PHP section - http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp

I have a great link for you. It will give you free tips about PHP. Check it - phpplanet.org

why don't you go for a w3schools for that,its really good site.

Hi, as we know that there is number of books available in market and here I mention some book which i Already used,
1)PHP and MySQL Web Development [Luke Welling, Laura Thomson]
2)By Wrox Publication
But as you get some basic knowledge then i Suggest you that, use Internet go to Real Work. and when you face some problem then you just mention here, I'll try solve them.

hey friends i too need to learn php., whether php using to build the site in windows or linux.

PHP for Dummies is actually a very good book,PHP/MySQL For Dummies is well worth the $20 you’ll pay for it at any big bookstore. I used it too, but after a little while you can easily do without, so I would try to borrow it somewhere, maybe by a library, instead of buying it.

I love some recommendations on what books are most useful for learning PHP.I know XHTML, CSS, JavaScript.I know some PHP as well. Also, can someone also recommend some books on Advanced PHP, that actually shows how to create fully functional and fairly complex application.

here is a good resource
PHP & MySQL For Dummies Cheat Sheet. When writing PHP programs to create your Web database application and communicate with a MySQL database

I think w3schools.com is the best site where you can all data to read.
