.. every web designer should learn at least some basic PHP.
This is a beginners website/course on PHP created for web designers who have little to no programming experience.
Where most other PHP tutorials and books assume you know programming (or at least, that's what it seems like ...) killerphp.com assumes you need to have things explained (and demonstrated) in non-nerd terms.
This is my growing collection of video tutorials (about 30 videos now) that guide the total beginner into the world of PHP programming.
Rather than trying to teach you everything there is to know about PHP right from the start, I jump into practical and useable PHP as quickly as possible.
Check out the PHP beginners videos.

The Zend Framework is the predominant PHP web application framework.
Understanding web frameworks (like Zend) is probably getting into intermediate to advanced PHP levels of complexity. But the advantage is that once you understand the Zend Framework, you will be able to build powerful PHP based web applications very quickly.

Although the videos are free to watch on this site, many have asked to be able to be take the videos home with them ... for offline viewing.
It took me a few months to get around to it (and a day to actually get it done!) .. anyway, you can now pick up the videos either by download or on DVD. These versions of the videos are rendered in very high quality Quicktime video format.
