Recently, a few people have been approaching me with their interest in learning PHP and today, I came across this article PHP 101: PHP For the Absolute Beginner<\/a> via Digg. Talk about timing!<\/p>\n

This area is intended for everyone new to PHP. It opens with a series of informal, entertaining tutorials written by Vikram Vaswani, founder and CEO of Melonfire. These tutorials build on a previously-published 5-part series which has now been updated and extended to embrace PHP 5, making parts of it suitable for those of you who already have worked with PHP 4 in the past.<\/p>\n

If you came here to learn about elementary PHP 4 or basic PHP 5, this is for you. Enjoy!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The tutorials are divided into 15 main sections as below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. PHP 101 (part 1): Down the Rabbit Hole<\/li>\n
  2. PHP 101 (part 2): Calling All Operators<\/li>\n
  3. PHP 101 (part 3): Looping the Loop<\/li>\n
