Let me just first say that there are so many scripting languages out there it is unbelievable. Is one scripting language better than the other? I don’t know but just using plain HTML does not cut it anymore. You have to use a combination of different scripting languages to create a really nice and functional web page.

I just recently got involved with learning PHP and find it easy to use and very adaptable when working with HTML pages. The language is easier than learning HTML and in most applications, more secure. I know, you are reading this and saying, “What the heck?” “I don’t wanna learn another scripting language, I am managing just fine without any other crap.”
There is one person I have found that makes it easyto learn PHP through the use of daily videos. Now you will not be an expert scriptor of PHP after watching these videos but… It is a great start. The lessons are broken up into 5 minute per day lessons in “Head First PHP.” Robert Plank narrates and demonstrates step by step how a PHP script comes together. He also teaches about arrays and if then statements.
I tell you it was a great learning experience for me and I know you will love it too! By all means, go to his Blog to check out his latest post and see which program might interest you. I recommend head first PHP for starting out so you will have the basics.
