Kick ass

I have 3 books on PHP by wrox.

Beginning PHP 4
Professional PHP Programming
Professional PHP 4 XML

I want to get the other books but I am pushed for money at the moment... the others are I believe.

Professional PHP 4
Professional PHP 4 Multimedia Programming
Professional PHP4 Web Development Solutions
Professional PHP Web Services <- this book isnt even done yet
Beginning PHP 4 Databases <- I am really excited for this one. They are going to have PHP 5 information. "Further, this book is kind of a 'getting-the reader-ready' for PHP 5 which will have strong OO and PEAR DB focus"

I m really exciting about Professional PHP 4 Multimedia Programming book, I m planning to buy that book anytime. But for other books, I dont know about that. I ll buy all Wrox books =D. I dont plan to buy Professional PHP programming cuz of bit outdated (I guess) Since Professional PHP4 cover these in that book right?

Do you think having a basic knowledge of another programming language helps you learn PHP?

Mist, yeah it does. I have previous experience with javascript and C language (soon will jump to C++) it does help much. But if you learn PHP first and you will do better with C/C++

I agree. I learned BASIC first and then started on PHP. It become really easy.

I read a littl through the Professional PHP 4 Multimedia Programming book and it had everything you need. Such as Ming and SVG.

I'd go with learning C first and if you do you'll find every other language easy as PHP / Perl are written in C and you'll find it lots easier

I learnt PHP first and i found it difficult to start learning C, especially declaring variables first.

When I started C I was able to get the drift of it since even before I started PHP I was getting in Java.

Ok sorry to laugh here, but those of you in England will probably laugh too...well If you're my age anyway....there's something to do with programming called Ming?! LMAO!

Ahem...anyway...

So a the beginners PHP 4 book from wrox would be the best option?
