My first php tutorial that i did a few nights ago, from a well known tuts site had missing code and mistakes within it, i was suprised at myself at being able to spot this and fixed the problems, but i was equally suprised at the tut being put out there without the author/publisher checking it first. I have been advised to read the php manual and im starting that tonight, but i have that feeling of where do i start, lol, for a complete beginner it's slightly intimidating.

I've taught bits and bobs of PHP to people before and always recommend php.net to them, but they don't use it because of the way it's laid out. It's daunting. Take Ruby on Rails as an example, its just all presented in a much nicer way. I agree, php.net is a great resource, however it’s not very… exciting.

Plus there is generally a decent code sample to do roughly what you are trying to do somewhere in the comments.
