I'd start with having a clear idea of what you want to do, and looking for tutorials on that. If you are new to programming in general, you'll want to make sure you understand how variables work.

Something you may want to do is look through the tutorials. I've got the start of a largish project in the tutorial section that may give you some ideas. I also make heavy use of the PHP documentation.

Try to find a walkthrough tutorial. Maybe a big project, who involves databases, sessions etc

If you can get a book, this book is just amazing. However, if you are totally new to programming and web development in general, you will first need to learn the basics of HTML. HTML, however, is nowhere near as complex as PHP, and most people can get enough of a handle on it in just a couple of days to begin learning PHP with a few online tutorials. You may also want to read a couple of short PHP tutorials online because the book moves quite briskly through the basics, but it is all there. The beauty of the book though is how much depth it has, and the fact that you can make full-featured projects after you read it. Most singular books don't get you that far.
