Whats the best book for learning php basics

Hi peeps

Can anyone advise the bast book/ebook to get that will show me from the very beginning as to what all the variables mean and stuff like that...

I have found 2 but the code is different to vb, for example:

an if statment in vb is like this:

Code:

<if condition....> blah blah blah </if>

in the books its:

Code:

if ($score > 92 )

{

$grade = “A”;

$message = “Excellent!”;

}

elseif ($score <= 92 and $score > 83 )

{

$grade = “B”;

$message = “Good!”;

}

elseif ($score <= 83 and $score > 74 )

{

$grade = “C”;

$message = “Okay”;

}

elseif ($score <= 74 and $score > 62 )

{

$grade = “D”;

$message = “Uh oh!”;

}

else

{

$grade = “F”;

$message = “Doom is upon you!”;

}

echo $message.”\n”;

echo “Your grade is $grade\n”;

Theres no <> bracket things and no /if to finish the statement.

So a book that will actually show/teach exactly what the php in vb is about please?

Those if/else statements are correct PHP code. The <if condition=""> are called template conditionals in templates. The is a section in the manual for them:
