Please suggest a book for learning PHP for a complete newbie :slight_smile:

download manual from php.net

Matt Zandstra’s PHP Objects, Patterns and Practices is good for both beginners and intermediate skilled programmers. And I doubt learning from php.net will help a complete newbie, I use it mostly for references of PHP API.
