I found Tizag Tutorials great for learning the basics and also PHP Video Tutorials - Like to watch the video instead of reading the book? - if you get on with his teaching style it's an easy way to learn.... mmmm chicken titty.

To throw in my 2 cents....
A contractor im working with on a big project with told me this and ive found it the cleanest and easiest way to go....
To avoid problems and generally keep things cleaner, use PHP to put information INTO HTML, dont use PHP to create HTML....
Simply put...
Right:
<?
for($i = 0; $i <= 10; $i++) {
?>
<div>
<img src="<?= $image[$i]; ?>">
</div>
<?
}
?>
Wrong:
<?
for($i = 0; $i <= 10; $i++) {
echo "<div>
<img src=\"".$image[$i]."\">
</div>";
}
?>
Looking at that small of an example, it looks negligible to do it that way... But the ideas, as I said above, is to use PHP to put information into HTML, rather then output HTML with PHP...

This is what frameworks seek to do by forcing you to use the model/view/controller paradigm.
You can also look into the Smarty templating system.
Definitely. Separating logic from presentation is a good programming concept not limited to PHP/HTML.
Supergeek,
Yea, thats where I got it from, were working on a large scale project and using Cake, besides getting used to heavy OO and the seperation of MVC it really is a great framework and quiet powerful to boot. Were using the latest iteration 1.2 which brought some nice changes.

Damn fine idea. Wish that would have clicked in my idea a little sooner. Would have made a few projects aLOT easier.
