(1) Install PHP on a web server near you - even if you have to re-install it 20 times, if you have root access, you'll learn quicker. You'll break things and HAVE to fix them yourself.
(2) PHP's online docs are the best resource. Getting Started
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/get…(3) wired has some simple tutorials:

PHP MYsql for dummies... hey no laughing, it's pretty good for dummy designers like me ;)
Set up a web server on your computer (IIS is ok for just learning stuff), install PHP, MYSqland make some sites in dreamweaver using the built in database/recordset functions.
Once you get the hang of it, all the php code will start to make sense.
