http://php.net - Probably your greatest resource. You'll be referencing the site, time and time again.
http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/default.asp - This is where I started out.

Hope I helped.

As far as learning PHP functions and their arguments, the search function at php.net is really great and the user comments give you great examples of how functions should be used or alternatives that may be used.  For problems with my SQL I usually just google the error message.  For development I prefer Eclipse IDE with the PHP plugin.  I've been working with php and mysql for over a year now and can't really recall where i picked up the general syntax, but if you have any questions i'd be glad to help.

After learning PHP/Mysql I would recommend learning Ruby - Ruby on
Rails. As this helps introduce you to page controllers and good site
design. You can do page controllers in PHP and python, but then you
loose some of the cool language features ruby will give you. At first
you may not understand why you need these features, but the longer you
write PHP you will begin to see the features of ruby as a god send.

Sorry python, Ur awesome 2, but lack of closures makes you second
best, that and the latest python release is the slower than all
previous versions.
