the function reference is a bit technical but there is also the getting started and language reference sections.

PHP actually stands (or did stand) for Personal Home Page, but that obviously didn't sound professional enough.
Thanks for the tutorial though

PHP stood for "Personal Home Page" until the end of PHP version 3 or
so, when Zend took over the majority of it's development. Presently
it's the recursive acronym "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor", or something
like that.
As far as learning PHP, once I had the basics of the language down I
started looking at some commonly used open source projects such as
PhpMyAdmin, PhpSysInfo, and Wordpress. I tried to think of a very
simple fix/refactor/new feature and I spent a weekend trying to
implement it.
Also, if you are new to programming in general (and are hoping to make
a career out of it) I would highly advise against diving into PHP
first. Take a look at C++, Java, or even Python to understand the
basic concepts of programming, and then dive into PHP. It may take
awhile but it will make you a much better programmer in the end.

I would highly suggest starting with w3schools. google it. learn it. job done.
use php.net as a reference.

First of all, I suggest abiding to some coding standards and/or best practices, one line condition statements for example aren't recommended.
Code:<?php if (true === $bool) { // $bool is true } else if (false === $bool) { // bool is false }
Code:<form enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" method="post" action="/controller/action">
Code:// always escape HTML output echo 'Hello ', htmlentities($_POST['name']);

Thanks for posting the basics - i'm new to programming and most tutorials seem to assume that you know things like php start and end tags.

A nice way to learn PHP is by reading code done by somebody else. That's how lots of programmers learnt.
