just grab the php manual at www.php.net. then just apply for hosting here. read the online documentation about gd functions. there are user-submitted scripts and comments.
I sugest you first have a purpose for learning php, that makes the whole experience easier. What is it you want to do with php? Ask yourself that question and then you go out and try to find a good tutorial for that purpose.
This is how I learned php, a step at the time. If you start reading up on alot of things at the same time its going to be a bit hard to do exactly what you want. When you learn the logic of PHP, thats when you can start expanding your area of knowledge. But first I suggest you just mess around with some features you'd like to make with php. As mobious said this host will give you php.
The purpose is to learn php. How he can know what php gives to you when he don't know it. Only when he learn and read some about php, he'll will know functios and possibilities whcih php gives, and then he would think of any purpose.
thanks a lot guys for replying.
I want to use php for sending form without using mailto and making username and password.IM just a newbie to the feild of computers wanting to learn everthing unbder the sun hehe  .again thx a lot
Hi,
First, maybe it would be good to install PHP (and, of course, Apache and MySQL) on your computer. Here is a tut : http://www.patheticcockroach.com/mpam4/index.php?p=32 Then, to get started with PHP, I think the W3Schools tut is nice, here : http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp Then, read scripts along with the PHP reference to search for the functions you don't know.

Finding information on these items should get you started on your way. Afterwards, I'm sure you'll be able to get more specific help as you need it. It is just too hard to try to teach php in a forum. Many of us are very good at explaining how specific things are done but we are really bad when it comes to general things. patheticcockroach has a good point about running a test server at home. It is easier to learn with because you don't have to keep uploading files between changes. Hope this helps you get started.  vujsa
If you find the online stuff not quite what you're looking for, Barnes and Noble sells its own line of computer related books for $8.99 or something very cheap like that. One deals specifically with PHP and includes MySQL connectivity. It's pretty dang useful if you just want the basics without a whole lot of tutorials or example code. Very well written from my perspective.
The manual available on php.net is too difficult and advanced ... for a Beginner ..
Furthermore, it is also messed up and unorganised ..... It is only best for the Advanced users who need to see the Functions of PHP ....  The best Tutorial for a Newbie is available at W3 Schools .... It is the best Tutorial, Even I started with this Tutorial Just go to this Website : http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp **** All Appreciations and Criticisms are welcome **** Regards: Samya Khalid
