Make sure you know XHTML so that you can actually structure the pages you create. Once you've got that, start off with the PHP basics and work from there.

Dive in, get started, write some scripts, and google away. :)
Trial and error is the best learning method. It sucks, but totally worth it.

I started by editing existing scripts.
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.
