I started by trying different things.
Example : how to replace string, how to count ....

You can take a look php basics here:
http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_syntax.asp

I would suggest you buying a normal book. You always learn better with normal books than with e-books or online tutorials.

I started learning the basics from there and then Google up things to increase your knowledge.

Use the knowledge and start coding small scripts. That's how you'll learn (y)

I suggest you download PHP and Mysql for dummies written by Janet valade. It's a suberb book.

And as blaze said you must work practically with php and if you have doubts, you must google or we have development section in WJ. And also some good php experts like blaze, mr.happy, humour.. etc!
