There are a few resources for PHP that I feel have been vital in my learning the language. From books to websites, I will try and give a short grouping that will hopefully help you understand PHP better.
Books
Some of the best help books I’ve found are written by, Larry Ullman. Here is one of his best.

This was my first PHP book. It’s not the greatest book out there, but if you want full application examples this is the book for you.

This next book isn’t a PHP book, but it is a great resource for learning MySQL. MySQL is free database component that works great with PHP.

Website Links
PHP cookies were something I didn’t learn from a book. Here are a few links that really helped me develop those skills. PHP and cookies. PHP.net documentation.
Here is a great forum, not just for PHP, with lots of questions answered about PHP.
I wanted to learn about REGEXP in PHP, mostly for security verification. Here are two links that helped pave the way. The basics. More advanced methods.
Just a great website with lots of PHP centered tutorials.
PHP.net. Just use it!
Random Resources
Just some good ideas to implement.
Sometimes there are good articles at Digital-Web.com about PHP.
You should at least check out .htaccess.
Great articles at alistapart.com about alot of things, including php.
