    - download a php + mysql + apache server (so you can test your code)
    - start by making a hello world program
    - go to php.net , see the function , read the example , try to apply them
    - go step by step

    First off, read through a few tutorials to get a general feel of the language.

    Then, go around downloading other people's scripts and trying to read their code and understand what they're doing and why.

    Start out copying and adapting other people's code snippets to your own small script projects. Use google. If you don't know how to ____, do a search for how to do it! Be sure to read and try to comprehend any code you use.

    Eventually, you'll be able to think like a programmer and write your own code from scratch.

    If I were you I'd learn MySQL before PHP. I did it the other way around and I didn't wake up until I read Wrox - Beginning MySQL.

    The PHP manual is always useful although not the best to learn stuff although it's an excellent reference.

    hudzilla.org/php is a good place to learn. Free online book for learning PHP. Some handy stuff in there.
