these questions don't have concrete answers; how you learn is up to you - what works for me might not work for you. How many hours - difficult to say, you can pick up something quickly while someone else doesn't; Know as much as you possibly can about php but not only php as a language (i.e the syntax); look at different approaches to solving problems, programming patterns, software design principles.

If i had to put a time frame to the concept of mastering programming, i'd say at least 10 - 15 years.

Yoda on becoming a PHP Master...

"Ready are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless."

Well it depends on each and every persons ability to cope up with this subject.... I could guide u with some tips to learn it faster....
1. Work under an experienced guy
2. Study and implement(study proper materials)
3. Try new stuff and try to bond each of them
4. Google what is needed.
5. Go through forums and specially those topics you may think is important. I am talkin about answered ones.
6. Also try solving some issues.
