Learning

What do you guys here consider the best way learning PHP?

I'm currently reading books on PHP and was wondering the best way to remember it and as you go, I know taking notes is good. But I would like to hear from the community.

thanks

When I read my book, I did an assignment or two in the books after each chapter. Each chapter if you follow in order uses previous chapter material. After awhile your start to remember things. Your not going to remember everything, PHP has over 5,300 built in functions. Once you have a solid grasp of PHP, your start to notice how the functions are named and if you can't remember certain stuff "exactly", you can just use the Documentation at php.net. Like string functions start off with strWhatever or str_whatever. Most functions related to array's use the word "array".

 

I would just follow the book chapter by chapter and pick a few assignments once done.
