How should one start learning with PHP these days?
My experience: hacked together a few PHP scripts over the years to notify me of a website change (5 minute cron job). Before that, I was a very good beginner with VB6 back in highschool.
There are a couple of ambitious database-driven website projects I would like to create, but I don't know where to start. I like the KISS philosophy, and I think PHP and MySQL would fill that. Is there an obvious alternative that I'm missing?
I was thinking of hoing through the w3schools PHP turtorial. Is there a better or more up-to-date resource?
