How long does PHP take from getting started to mastering?

I think PHP is not difficult to learn and how often PHP learnsis a common problem, so let's start with a summary of a few situations.

Good situation:

1, do not exclude some people have talent, IQ high brain benevolence large. Quick to get started, this is related to the z-shaped sulcus in brain kernels. But most people's brains are about the same weight.

2, do not rule out that some people have mad dog-like crazy learning spirit. This kind of people from the start to the promotion cycle is also very short.

3, do not exclude some people are very good, such as mm programmer. A problem will have a brother and sister brothers and sisters to help, guidance, and even on behalf of debugging procedures. If we try to be a little higher, this kind of people will progress quickly. Programming World If there is a great God to help you to show the way, plus you are very studious, it is flying the same speed

The bad situation will not be said. Do not rule out that some people have no talent, long as I was so shabby, so no big god point of the road, the day for fear of pain can not achieve a mad dog-like effort.

From my personal learning situation, it belongs to "bad situation". I hope you don't like me.
