Hi, just wondering - best of an open ended question, but, how did you guys best learn php?

Obviously best way is to get your hands dirty, but did you watch tutorials, any particular books? All advice appreciated.

Thanks!
 
You must understand HTML code before learnin' PHP ,.. and then, buy some good book. Use google and PHP.com ,..
 
To be strong in PHP you should know HTML in depth . Learn basic PHP and start working in PHP. There is no book or video tutorial is better than experience. So start with small scripts and keep on working. While you working you are learning a lot. If you did like that means you will become a expert in PHP.
Even me studied only basic of PHP. But now am strong in PHP. Still every day learning...

My humble worthless opinion.

Figure out a project that you really *want* to do.
So bad, that nothing will stop you from doing it.

Then, start that project.

At this point, your mind is a blank, right? But hey, you have to start somewhere.
Then, you figure out what it takes to start a basic website.

Obviously,
<html>
<body>
<div>Hello World</div>
</body>
</html>

This is the words most basic website.
It works. It's effective, it's VERY fast!

Now, add to it.
<html>
<body>
<div>Hello World, it's <?=date('m/d/y')?></div>
</body>
</html>

And it just goes on and on from there.

So the things you'll need to learn (and not in any order)
HTML (DHTML,XHTML) - duh..
CSS - This makes the pages .... "pretty"
Javacript - This helps offload some server processing
PHP - you know what this is..
MySQL - database (good for keeping track of stuff)
