Beginning PHP

[chili5]

The books I have are:
McGraw Hill PHP Programming Solutions
PHP5 MySQL Programming for the Absolute_Beginner
Pro PHP Security - Apress

[Xav]

That should be enough! I don't have any books - just w3schools.

[chili5]

I started with W3 schools then got some books for some more practical ways to practice.

[Xav]

So what sort of projects are you working on currently?

[chili5]

Right now a net income calculator but I'm looking for more ideas.

While I'm working through a few books, I'm working on my calculator a little.

[Xav]

Sounds like fun.
How's Spartan coming along?

[chili5]

Right now, I'm looking through some books on PHP so I haven't had much of a chance to try much with Spartan.

[Xav]

Take your time. I can't talk, I've never even tried it.

@ Martin_kp: you don't need Firefox for that. IE will do. And this thread is not in the tutorials section, but in the forum section, so it's going to be some sort of question or other.

I know, it's on right click too. Safari also does that (I just got a mac).

[Xav]

It's a standard feature of all major web browsers. Safari isn't the best browser to use - I'd recommend Firefox 2, even for a Mac.
