What’s the best way to go about learning PHP when I’ve been doing ASP/ASP.NET? I’m not sure it’s worth the time, but there seem to be so many projects doing it..
What do you think? Anyone crossed the worlds? How did you do it?

I suspect it can’t hurt to learn it, if only because of the increasing popularity of solutions such as WordPress, etc. in the commercial space.
That said, PHP’s online manual is pretty reasonable, so I’d have thought you’d be fine with that and your existing knowledge of the common web site paradigms. You could also grab some source code (something like the aformentioned WordPress or the Zend Framework if you’re feeling adventureous) and see how they’re structured.
Beyond that, the best way to learn is of course to get stuck in. 🙂
