What is PHP??
PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor
PHP is a server-side scripting language, like ASP
PHP scripts are executed on the server
PHP supports many databases (MySQL,Informix,Oracle,Sybase,Solid,PostgreSQL,Generic ODBC, etc.)
PHP is an open source software(OOS)
PHP is free to download and use
that is PHP but my problem is how can i learn faster about PHP becuase i will be applying for a job using PHP language!!

PHP is not that difficult to learn and if you got a base in C language you wont find much difference in PHP and C. Definitely the best source for PHP is http://www.php.net. The best thing about PHP is that there are a lot of forum and tutorial sites where you can seek help. Check out http://www.phpfreaks.com and http://www.learnphp.org. PHP comes with almost all Linux distribution. Installing PHP manually is bit difficult. To make your life easier there are many projects which makes installing PHP very easy. Check out www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html and download xampp which includes every software including PHP to make your PHP work.

you're applying for a job in a language you don't even know???? that was priceless xDDDDDDDDDDDDD okey okey, if you want to learn PHP I suggest (as always do) to go to the source, this is, the documentation from the site here: http://www.php.net/docs.php there you will find everithing about it, I suppose you already have some basic knowledge about programming right? or else you will be asking too much I think... PHP syntax is very similar to C and therefore to the vast majority of common languages.
I presume that you'll be using it for web as it is the 99% of the time, if so you will need a webserver too in order to serve your pages, I recommend (if you are on windows) using EastPHP since this is a one-step installation and has Apache + PHP + MySQL all in one so it will help to start quick, else you'll have to install apache or some webserver and then php to run on it

PHP is a bit hard but not that hard, i know about php quite well now but 2 months before did not know any thing about php until i came across PHP-NUKE one of my friends told be about phpnuke because i wanted to create my own site, first i had a lot of problems installing phpnuke because i did not know any thing abut MYSQL database or any thing i was stuck for about 5 - 6 days and then i found out that you have to import the SQL file located in the phpnuke installation directory then i imported that then it worked and i was very happy but then i did not get that much in the admin panel in phpnuke so i asked my friends what is modules and blocks he told be a bit about it and i was just playing around with then i got what it does and all that, so i started looking for a good template a flash template the best, then i downloaded a template and it was very good. PHP isn't that much hard now i know about php quite well after all that. I think you should download phpnuke and install it, and find some modules and blocks and mods that requires you to edit the php files to make that mod work you can download phpnuke at www.phpnuke.org for free latest version out is 7.9, and once you have intsalled it then start looking for some mods and installing them becuase to make them work you have to edit some of the php files and replace some codes and i think that would make you understand more in php coding, you can look for some more online courses and do self study from the internet to improve learnings php. My site is www.cellphonejunky.co.uk it is all about mobile phones thats why it is called cell phone junky, it has a lot of free mobile games, ring tones, wallpapers, screen savers and themes all for free, also has an forum so you could discuss anything about mobile phones or just go on off topic enjoy!
