please help
what will be the best way to sart to learn PHP. As I am new to this. 
I recommend books, for reference and general introduction, for specific questions, use the web.
Here is a thread discussing PHP-books.
Also you may want to have a look the introductory tutorial at php.net.

php.net wrote:PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. If you are new to PHP and want to get some idea of how it works, try the introductory tutorial. After that, check out the online manual, and the example archive sites and some of the other resources available in the links section.

I would also reccomend you look for good tutorials on the web. They are often more to-the-point (not to mention cheaper
) than books. Is there something in particular that you want to program or do you just want to learn? If you just want to learn, a book is your way to go. If you need something specific, search for tutorials on what you need.
Lastly, remeber that there is a great community of PHP veterans, as well as newbies, right here who are willing to help each other. I know this from expirience. You have no idea, how much help i have recieved on this forum.
Good luck with your task.

i would also recommend learning using at least php4.1 due to changes from eralier versions and the begining of the migration to php 5.0 has already started.
i had initally learned php as 3.0.11 or something like that. didn't use it for a year and a half. the amount deprecated wehn going to 4 was great, but i found working on a system with 4.1.1 had most of the deprecated stuff as not working at all.
so....my first suggestion is to forget about anything before 4.1....
