Here are a few worth looking at:

W3Schools Tutorials (http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp)

PHP 101 (http://devzone.zend.com/article/627)

PHPBuddy (http://www.phpbuddy.com/)

Tizag (http://www.tizag.com/phpT/)

The last one (Tizag) it a little tougher than the others. It assumes you have a basic understanding of some of the topics it covers. But it is still worth a look. PHPBuddy is one I have never tried but looks well thought out at least. The other 2 are constant resources for people like me :)

Also, this is not where you should start, but where you should end up:
http://php.net

Use that to reference anything you need to look up. The function reference is great with examples, bug reports and warnings (if applicable).

Once you move on from tutorials that will be all the reference material you need.

For now, use tutorials but also just practice and it will start to make sense.


To start with php and mysql, I found this tutorial helpful: http://php-mysql-tutorial.com
