Learning PHP

[grand]

I want to learn PHP, though codeacademy, and all that shit isn't the way I learn. I have a strong knowledge of html, css, and all that other shit, python a lil bit too. but I want to learn this language once and for all. thx if u leave pointers down below, thanks.
Oh right, and I'm broke as fuck.

I'd suggest just diving into the language with a goal of building something, and when you come across problems, research the best solution, and learn from it. For instance, try and make a simple blog; you don't have to have any money, just localhost and time. It doesn't matter how bad it is written, all that matters is learning from the process, and by the end of it you'll probably see things you would differently.
