Learning PHP. where should i be, what do i do?
<p>So long story short, im a web guy (front end) and im learning the basics of php now, trying to expand the skill set. the problem i always have with learning is that, if i cant visualize how to apply (real world scenario) what im doing, it wont stick. For example, if someone asked a similar question about html basics, id say "well now that you have the basics down, try building your first website"</p>

<p>since im going through the basics now with php and mysql...how far should i go b4 i can say " hmm im a novice now"???</p>

<p>what SHOULD I be ABLE to do once i really learn the basics?</p>

<p>im just a bit lost in the mix.
Thanks in advance</p>
