it is important not to just readthe tutorials throught once, but experiment with what you've learnt, be inventive!

What Cubeman said is probobly best for any language you are trying to learn, if you can't find something try to figure it out based on other stuff. Mess with the synatx.

Why not learn from the documentation?

http://www.php.net/manual/en/

You can learn from documentation, but I find it too long tediouse boring and organized (yes, too organized.)

With stuff others wrote it is in clear flowing speech and you learn the stuff you need, if there is something less common then the docs could be used for reference, but I can't sit through it and read it all.

Try www.freewebmasterhelp.com they have a good beginners tutorial whick covers variables and formatting and stuff.

After that, move on to the w3schools one for the more advanced things.
