Hi, I've become pretty familiar with PHP over the past few years. I got the majority of my knowledge of the language from w3schools.com. They really take it slow, and make it extremely easy to learn. I actually learned PHP as a thirteen year old(Now I'm 15.) It's actually a very simple language after you learn the basics. Good Luck to both of you! -Luke

I've tried learning with them before, I'm just impatient. I did learn basic HTML there though. I'll try it out again and taker it slow. Thanks for the help!

I also learned php when i was 13 at w3schools, and if i have a blank moment i just go their site as long as its not too complicated and i can figure it out. Ive tried other sites, they are not nearly as easy to follow.

I suggest you to learn PHP through their documentation/manual. Documentations are available for online or offline viewing. You can find it at php.net. I think it is better if you learn offline. Go to: http://www.php.net/download-docs.php to download the PHP manual. If you're using Windows, download the .chm format. Inside you will find a lot of examples with details of their function.
