hmm, i can't really learn you php, but i can give you a hint:

best method to learn programming is the try and error method.

think of small hacks you want to do on a LOCAL board. then try to find lines which would do some of this stuff. copie them together, edit th variables and run the script.
if it works, try a harder one, if not, try to find the error and correct it...

so i have learned all my programming skills
