From experience, the best way to learn PHP is learning how to build a content management system. PHP allows you to build data driven websites, which means pulling information from a database. Once you learn how to manipulate that database to display any content you want…wow the things you can do.

Search google for: Creating a Simple Blog. Start from lesson 1.

PHP is rather a big step up if you haven't really got to grips with HTML. Why not work in a basic text editor for a while just to learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript really well, and then you can move on to PHP, which requires setting up your own server and learning what is a simple but proper programming language.

I found the w3schools tutorial less easy to follow than some of their other tutorials. I used this one:

And really enjoyed their teaching style.

Here is a site that should help you out. http://devzone.zend.com/article/627
If you are looking for a definitive guide, I would recommend the O'Reilly Books, or "Head First PHP"
I am in the process of learning PHP as well, and these resources have been a huge help.
