Hi<br>This book is good, video tutorial try <a href="http://lynda.com">lynda.com</a> drupal creating customs themes. Other videos are made by lullabot, but not so well organized. Video tutorial by lynda id for the beginners, well organized a very clear. U don't have to be PHP guru to create theme for customers requirements, like simple one, just understand basic is OK. U have to be familiar with PHP if comes to module development.Have a look at drupal files page.tpl.php, node.tpl.php, block.tpl.php there are variables with some short description to give U idea what going on. Check drupals tutorial on the web and good luck.<br>

I can recommend a book;<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.packtpub.com/drupal-6-themes/book" target="_blank">http://www.packtpub.com/drupal-6-themes/book</a> turns out a lot of it is not<br>
php (template files and such, but it's probably not like anything else<br>
you've used, so unless you've done themes before, you will have to learn<br>
about what is needed. Fwiw, it's not rocket science.<br>

How much php knowledge is required to develop / customize drupal<br>
themes efficiently?<br>
<br>
Do I need to read a whole book or is there some basic documentation of<br>
the essential php used for drupal theming?<br>
<br>
Any resources would be greatly appreciated!<br>
<br>
Saki<br>
