Hello,

A friend and I want to learn PHP but we have two totally different
programming backgrounds.
I have experience with procedural programming in C, and he has
experience with Visual BASIC.
Well we wanted to know, what type of learning curve ( of difficulty )
we would have trying to learn PHP?
Also, What will be the most significant changes for us to adapt to? I
wanted to know if PHP is like
bash shell scripting for Linux?

Since you already know the basics of programming - conditional loops, operators, scope, data types, etc - it should be relatively quick to learn PHP.

The only part that might gum up the works is if you're not well-versed in HTML/JavaScript.
