Anyway - I've read the book it goes it some good stuff but like Bennett says your best looking at other peoples scripts just to work out the logical order of how they solved the problem. The only problem here is - its very hard to get their order out of your head - even if you change variables names or whatever yuo can't get their solution out of your head.
If you have some previously knowledge of coding like this then you will understand most of the part and its prob best moving onto the advanced stuff.

Thats the exact book that I used to start programming, i read it upto like chapter 6, then put it down and started coding by myself.
Lots of problem solving to do at first, but I managed to grasp the fundamental rules about the language after around a month. And now its been about 8 month, and I can code php like abc. But there's always more stuff to learn about it.

Online tutorials dont really help me I am afraid I learnt with a mixture of methods, the main being having a good php 'bible' to go by for when online communities and others scripts fail to find what you need. Otherwise just take a look at some free scripts of hotscripts.com and find out what does what. Or read the PHP manual and get stuck in in places like www.youngcoders.com.
