PHP is a language used in web and program design. You can use it to create all kinds of utilities for use online and notable advantages of it include the vast majority of websites running off Apache servers use it, it runs across all kinds of platforms, browsers, operating systems, and interfaces, it is completely free as open source, and it’s fast, safe, and secure.

Without a great deal of knowledge of C or Perl or the like, it can be difficult to learn PHP. A lot of times websites which try to teach it assume that you either have an existing knowledge which you do not have or present the material in ways which are difficult to understand. Therefore let’s take a look at the best resource to learn PHP in 24 hours.

Simple PHP is an ebook/video collection designed with the sole purpose being of teaching PHP simply so that anyone can learn PHP in 24 hours. Going on step further, the author Robert Plank (a Comp Sci major) guarantees that you can learn it in 17 hours without having any existing coding knowledge or anything of the like.

The book is 17 chapters, each which end with a quiz section to test you on the information from that chapter to promote retention. Doing some fast math it’s pretty obvious that it works out to be one hour per chapter. The accompanying videos also make it simple to see what Robert is doing as he talks about it.
