I learned the basics of php on youtube.
I don't know php but i know other languages like C and Python and the best advice is pratice, pratice, pratice. Use the code you are developing. Get started with small exercices and progress from there. Just code a lot and you will learn a lot. Reading the code and understanding it is one thing but beeing able to code alone is another level.
Good luck

My suggestion is to think of something simple and worth doing and start doing it.
Then, as you find the answer, add more ideas to it.
e.g.
collect email through form submit.
when you done that, you can expand from there
- can you split the first, last name
- can you save the name into database
- do you know where the submitter comes from
- can you let the submitter submits the form without leaving the page and show an acknowledgement
with more and more idea you implement, you get better and of course, your work don't go to waste
just my 2 cents.

As someone earlier said I would suggest that you think of what you want to build first.
Then when you have a goal you will move further from that point and learn more and more and more... As while you are going you will need to learn how to do new things and you will then need to find out how to do it and again learn new things and improve your PHP knowledge.
Together with PHP MySQL goes almost naturally, and at least basics of HTML / CSS will be required so that you can do at least some output.
Other then that IMHO ultimate resource for PHP is php.net when you get to that part.
Happy learning!

Video tutorials are great (only if you want to get the gist of the language). Thenewboston if you're completely beginning. I do not suggest you take his courses seriously, but just as a light introduction to the langauge.
