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.
