Hi,
While the idea of a "mentor" is quite widespread amongst people who
wish to learn a new field within IT, I find it that not many people
who want one get one.
I can, though, suggest that you in no circumstance save user passwords
in plaintext. I could find that file on a live server and retrieve all
user passwords.
The best way to learn any programming language (Or anything else, for
that matter) is to just play with it. Find some good guestbook script,
or some other type of not-so-complex code, and hack at it. Add
features, edit current features to your liking, etc.. That is how I
got good at coding PHP.
