Well i want to make make a site where people can get points and items. So if you know how to do that or where i can learn please post or email me at StalkerRobot02@aol.com Thank You!

http://www.php.net
http://www.devshed.com
http://www.sitepoint.com

As dude says, those three are pretty important to anyone learning php

sitepoint has the largest community forum
devshed has the best articles (my opinion only - some would argue sitepoint has)
php.net has the manual

To actively keep track of members across your site you'd want to get a grip on session, database access/update, variable passing and probably cookies.

All well worth learning :)

Welcome to the wonderful world of PHP btw, you'll never look back.

Okii where could i find that???

what do i need to start php??

http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.php#tutorial.requirements

sessions, database interaction, and all those wonderful things are in the manual at http://www.php.net

if you go there, I recommend starting with the introductory tutorial, which is the basics, then you can move on to the full documentation

a great place to start php is actually http://www.webmonkey.com it is really basic and is great for getting started. then i downloaded scripts and learned by studying. i found it a bit easier to do that way.

read all 5 of the devshed 101 tuts, will get you familiar with the coding constructs.

then practice, practice, practice
