I'm looking to learn php, what should I know first?

I want to look at an ivr in php what should I know before I move on to php, have a basic knowledge of html and css, is it overly ambitious and asking for trouble to move to php?

I love PHP, but don't you think it would be wise to first learn JS? PHP is my best language and I've been using it for years; it can really work well with JavaScript to really make dynamic applications/sites/projects. There's definitely no harm in learning it now though, because it's great.

After learn html/css going on with php is a logical. I recommend you to put on the side the O.O.P with php in a first time, try to play with variables first, with functions, to build some form and handle them with php, to communicate with databases (.xml, sql, .txt) and after you start to feel confortable have a look at O.O.P and you still can push to M.VC after O.O.P.
