I’d like to learn PHP with a view to using CodeIgniter to make a few apps. Does this alter what or how I should approach PHP to start with?
I’m a designer with good front-end skills. I used Coldfusion in University but want to build stuff in a language more widely supported (and respected?). CodeIgniter seems great but I’d like to know how good a grounding in PHP I’ll need. Any tutorial/book suggestions much appreciated.
Here’ s a post from Derek Allard about learning php with codeigniter (it’s short, only a couple paragraphs):
