I think you first if can order a hosting with php, you can practise there as you lab. then start reading basic php language, and then OOP in php and then other frameworks such as cakephp,... after that you can dowload serveral famous open source projects to take a look at how experts code php
php often uses with mysql so it is a must to learn sql and mysql you can go to the site MySQL tutorial, a good stuff to study ;-)
