If you haven't tried these yet, I recommend them...

w3schools.com - http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp
lynda.com - http://www.lynda.com/PHP-tutorials/p...ing/435-2.html

+1 for W3schools. One of the easier sites to learn ANY programming language. Live code-changing demos, clean documentation, etc.

Have a look at the Tizag tutorials, there a great starting point.

Another vote here for w3schools, also it has other languages on it.

w3schools gets another vote, taught me all the web languages I know at least as a starting point.

w3schools is a great starting point. I learned very quickly by getting a book (I think it was http://www.amazon.com/Learning-PHP-5...ref=pd_sim_b_4) and blasted through it in a weekend.

for beginners i will suggest w3schools. They have got great tutorials for the basics and the they have also got a testing module from which you can test your progress. +1 for w3schools.com

[Techy]

+6 on the w3schools.com great resource.

[jrussell]

+7 on w3schools.com, I use it all the time (for more than just PHP). Also, check out PHP Classes... lots of great stuff for PHP, not limited to tutorials.

[Shamun]

W3schools for the basic category, and then tizag.
After that, think up an idea you want to make and then use php.net to find the functions.
