    Hi Vijuamrit
    I agree with wsindhu. w3schools is a good place to start but also take a look at Lynda.com. That is another great source with video tutorials although Lynda.com is a paid subscription.
    Good luck with your learning.

    Before you start learning PHP, it's probably a good idea if you have at least some HTML knowledge. This is because PHP has no formatting at all, so while it can do many things that HTML can't, it can't make your site look nice. Thats why it is used in conjunction with HTML. PHP for the muscle, HTML for the aesthetics.
    First things first, let's check if you have PHP! This will also tell you more information about the version of PHP that you are running.
    Next, you have to do a Hello World! script. Sure it's simple, and it's cheesy, but its tradition when learning a language.
    Now it's time to really start learning the basics! This tutorial shows all of the basics you need to start writing PHP scripts.
    If you are someone, like me, who learns best from example, you should probably browse our Step by Steps section, for detailed instruction (and full example code) for creating different types of scripts.

    You can learn PHP from 'thenewboston.org/tutorials.php' . It is a good site for learning PHP or other programming languages.

    PHP is language of programing and to learn this language there are lots of tutorial available, Learning to program a computer is somewhat of a difficult task,PHP originally stood for "personal home page" but has since expanded to mark itself as one of the most widely used programming languages for the web of all time.PHP syntax is simple and clean. If you already know a programming language, you will find PHP very easy to pick up.

    I think first you have to gain some knowledge about the basic HTML, CSS and javascript. Then you have to gain knowledge of PHP from www.w3schools.com.
