What other coding languages have you learned? You see, HTML & CSS for example are static languages, you learn the tags and attributes and you're done. But with PHP it's all in the dynamics and semantics, you'll need to put in some thought in almost everything you write to get the right result. And almost everything can be accomplished in more than one way.

Experience is the best tool for learning. Write your own PHP code and learn from all the code errors you'll make.

  Have you learned any server side scripting /backend language before?if you have done so then learning php will not be a problem,since basic concepts are similar only syntax is different.

  Not meaning to complicate thing but if you are familiar with other languages you will be familiar with the MVC model.
  
  If that is so I would suggest using CodeIgnitor which is a PHP framework.
  Will make your life easier and is one of the easier frameworks to learn.
  
  But first learn the basics
  
  Thanks

I'm a PHP programmer -- and if you need help - we can IM one another. Just PM me.

But I would suggest W3C School and check out the PHP section.

HTML, CSS..are static markup languages..not really dynamic logic-based programming langauges.

1) Install WAMP on your computer.
2) Download netbeans as your PHP IDE
3) Follow the tutorials and at W3C schools and check out PHPfreaks.com
