    This is where I started as well. If you don't already have it installed, I'd suggest installing XAMPP (ApacheFriends.org) and using that as a server, since it runs locally on windows/linux, and works beautifully.

    I suggest getting books as they are a lot better for explaining things.
    To test out your php functions/scripts you can use XAMPP which is a small little web server you can set up on your computer to test your websites out.

    If you do not want the books you can try W3Schools.com

    rtfm mate - in this case it's a gold mine, c+p the examples on each page, run them, fiddle about with them, try all the params of the function your trying then move on, you'll be making scripts within the week and making sellable within the month.

    a)First go and learn Php in w3schools.com

    b)If you do n't have Php server ,install Xampp in your system at home

    c)Then try executing php scripts you have learnt

    Also create new ones for different tasks and execute it and also search www.php.net for more functions... and learn it

    If you have some programming background I mean C,C++ etc. You can learn PHP easily just in 2 months.
    You can use wamp server to test PHP scripts/functions. I will recommend you to use dreamweaver which is easy and friendly.
