[plug] Learning PHP advice

[caston at arach.net.au]

Hello,  
  
I applied for a job administering 500+ machines late last week that was asking 
for a graduate and said that PHP experience would be desirable.  
 
I told them I had been self-employed for the last four years and that I did 
not know PHP but would learn it. 
 
I did a bit of pascal, c/c++ vbscript, vb6.0 in highschool and TAFE and of 
course have always dabbled around in html. Would have been nice if they had of 
thought web based programming back in the late '90s and school though ;) 
 
What resources would you recommend for learning PHP?  
Should I start at 4,5 or 6? 
 
I have quite a few commercial ideas for websites that I am eager to implement 
as part of the learning curve. 
  
regards,
