How long did it take?

[intertec]

Hey everyone. Just want to know how long did it take you to learn php good enough to make scripts for yourself because I'm in the process of learning and want to know the average time it took everyone

Thank you.

I'm still learning PHP, so I guess I'll tell how long it took for me to perfect HTML. It took me roughly a month to perfect HTML given my time frame. I would've perfected it within 2 or less weeks, but you know how "busy" people's lives are, right?

Thanks. Anyone else? And just t\wanting to know, did you self taught, read book, text tutorials or video tutorials. Thanks

Guess the basics are the easy part, but I don't honestly think you're ever "done" learning a programming language - in pretty much every language you're always finding a new way to do something (even if it's not as efficient) or finding a new function you've never used.

But took me around 2-3 months to get some of my first scripts working. I tend to do something insane like setting my first goal as "image gallery" and work out all the bits and pieces on my way

It works but it takes a hecka long time to actually finish it cause of being so new :S

I'm still learning it too I know the basics like email forms and editing a lot of other stuff, I've not really spend time learning PHP, in fact, I have never been taught PHP or read anything about it but I'm starting to learn a bit just from experience and it seems like a really good code to know plus it can be really useful so I am hoping to learn it a buy a book on it sometime soon.

It took me like... 3 weeks to make my first successful login script :]
I'm too lazy to learn more php.

I'm in really wanting to learn because I can see that php has a future it products and scripts for big business!
