I don't have any formal schooling about programming...do you think it's possible for me to learn by myself?

Definitely.

I've learned easily enough via the Internet and all classes near me are horribly over priced. ($800 for 20 hrs... that works to $40/hr, with 30 students per class is $1200/hr they're making off us!)

A good suggestion is get a nice PHP tool that helps you develop, it's worth it's weight in gold. Especially if it has a 'beautify' button!

I would recommend www.phpdesigner.dk - It has a trial if you need to test it.

I usually recommend "php for dummies". It is a quick and BS free book. Then just go from there. It teaches the basics "the right way". Then work up to cookbooks, xml, regex, etc. But a firm foundation is most important.

Nope, is cheap though. You can freely download the E-Book from Mininova.Org using bittorrent. Make sure to get php5 though.

I would recommend against 'PHP for Dummies' (especially via Bittorrent.) - I had a flick through it at my local bookstore and it seemed to teach fairly bad standards.

I looked through just a chapter or two and saw continous references to arrays like so:
$array[key] and (from what I read) didn't mention data validation at all.
