Do I have to be fluent with PHP and MYSQL to start using CI

Even people with some PHP experience still need to refer to the userguide and mysql documentation from time to time, start slow and then research things you want to build on (more database use, sessions, etc).

If you start slow and use the guides as help it will teach how how to properly use CI, it isn't JUST PHP
