Here are a couple that have been recommended to me (although I must admit I've not learned PHP yet)

http://www.zend.com/php5/abs/index.php
www.phpfreaks.com

I'd think the top hits here would be good ones to check out too.

I agree with all the links above - PHP Freaks being my favourite. Some others are:

http://php.resourceindex.com/
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ - True not a tutorial but it's invaluable!

And for a super quick tutorial...
  1. Open Notepad.
  2. Enter the following:
    Code:
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>My First PHP Page</title>
    </head>
    
    <body>
    <?php
    echo 'Hello World!';
    echo '<br/>';
    
    $a = 7;
    $b = 12;
    $c = $a + $b;
    echo "$a + $b = $c";
    ?>
    </body>
    </html>
    
  3. Save this as test.php
  4. Upload the test.php file to the folder you store your regular HTML pages
  5. Point your browser to the address of your web site followed by "test.php". For example http://www.mywebpage.com/test.php
You should get a page saying:
Quote:
Hello World
7 + 12 = 19
Finally try changing this line:
Code:
echo "$a + $b = $c";
to use single instead of double quotes and see what happens.
