visit www.w3schools.com and go through the php tutorial.

Then find a few other tutorial websites.

Then tear apart a few existing php applications.

Then build your own.

I suggest you start smalle and get confident in something simple then work your way up. I suggest using the same website that JakeJ did, its very good I still use it 2 years after first learning php because it quickly confirms things I'm prone to forgetting.

If you really want somewhere to start, I suggest starting with a php website with a simple database to store some simple data then pull that data and display it on the page.
