In my opinion, anyone wanting to learn PHP needs only the following 4 things...
1. The book PHP fast & easy web development. By Julie C. Meloni out of Prima Publishing. This book will start you from the beginning, and they make it VERY easy to understand.
2. After you know all the basics from the above book then dig into the book Professional PHP Programming from Wronx Press. Lot's of stuff here, so you may want to teach yourself only what you need to know for whatever it is you are doing. Go with the smaller book I mentioned above first though. That is for extreme PHP newbies, and this one I don't think is.
3. Visit PHPBuilder.com's boards with any questions you have.
4. The program PHP Triad (it's free). It'll do a full install of Apache and MySQL in Windows. Support for PHP of course, and CGI.
