I got some help here when I started but I am not sure what they are doing now:

This book is a useful reference:

Core PHP programming / Leon Atkinson [with Zeev Suraski]

Don't try to memorise everything if this slows you down. Just keep a copy of all the types of codes and routines you need and refer to them when you need them.

I couldn't agree more, attempting to memorize it all from the start is hard. Start writing your own simple php scripts and as you go on you wil see what you use most and start memorizing the important things. I also believe it is good to write down functions you use rarely but that are of great use when you need them... This will save you time from having to re-look them back up on php.net. :)
