I've devided I would like to start learning PHP, years ago in college (a-levels) I learned Pascal and I used to really enjoy programming but going out an partying got the better of me in the end! I passed, but then kinda forgot about programming for years!

Recently I've been feeling a strong urge to get back into it, given that I'm now heavilly into web design I thought PHP would be an excellent place to begin where I left off.

Obviously there are some excellent resources available on the internet, but through doing my degree I've found that a good book is always the best way to start off. I find they usually have the scope to cover a wider area of topics and in much more detail.

However I'm open to opinion, what do you think? Where should I start?
