Tutorials seem like an ideal place to start. However, i'd come up with a scenario such as "build an online shop" etc...

I bought a book and gave it a 2,3 reads doing all the examples a couple of times which might be a good way to start. Also most sites offering tutorials have plenty of different kinds of tuts and mostly not that advanced.
Having a book or two is nice when you need a quick reference or ideas.

Do you have any experience with databases?
A big part of an online shop is the use of a database.

I would start with something more simple to be honest.
A guestbook is a good way of practise database handling, loops and other php functionalities.
After that you can build other stuff around that application such as login and sign up for users, newsletter etc.
An online shop is not just to add some items to a database table and make an html form.

The reason i suggested an online shop is because it's a big project.
However, if approached in a modular fashion you can break the work up into seperate project i.e. aesthetics, session handling, functions etc...
@kaukab: try finding a tutorial for building an online shop or indeed buy a book. Or on an even simpler note, try searching for a tutorial on php and forms (forms are used quite frequently in online shops.
