First of all, search old posts. It's been asked before.

http://php.net <-- Biggest help in learning
http://scriptschools.com/php <-- Some pretty good tutorials
And get a book. I have PHP & MySQL web development, and I liked it so much that I bought the second one also. Excellent excellent book.

Sorry, don't know any more sites.

internet is too big and wide, get a good basic book, learn the basics and follow the book. Look in a bookstore for one you like. It is easier to read a book then a screen

When you start to pick up the basics you can search the forum here for what you are looking for.
One idea is to browse all the functions on php.net it is fun and educational.

Question Wow !

For learning PHP you should go to these sites:
www.php.net
www.programmingtalk.com
www.sitepoint.com
www.weberdev.com

and while you are at it you might as well also read up on MySQL:
www.mysql.org
