Learning Programming is a tough subject, no matter which language you choose. It took me months to figure out php and MySQL enough to build real, quality, Websites that were "good enough". Eventually I figured out the easiest way to learn. It took me MONTHS to figure it out... but I did. So what does it take to learn a Programming Language such as PHP? "Doing"
is what it takes. 90% of the people who try to take on such a task end
up feeling "dumb" or "slow". This usually is NOT the case. I've found
that, like myself, most people try to learn PHP from reading and going
through code to "understand" what it means. I was the same way
until I was told "just do it". My mentor must have been the most
patient man on the face of this earth - because I was constantly
telling him I could not do it. But he kept on me telling me the same
line I'm telling you: "just do it". What does this mean? It means
trying to create your very own scripts, whether small or of decent
size. Start out with printing out the date to the browser. Continue
with Loops. Create scripts that create mathematical equations. Print
out your name, last name, etc.
