Sites I used when I was learning:
Photoshop Tutorials, Flash Tutorials and More! P2L Tutorial Search
W3Schools Online Web Tutorials

Also looking over sample scripts and trying to understand what is going on is a great way to learn.

Welcome to the PHP Classes Repository - PHP Classes <- they're pretty damn good.

As always for sample-scripts: php.net there are guides aswell and other sites where you could learn...

I also know many, but they're all in german

And really, if you really need to get php you should visit a course for it, I'm on a school for computer - technology, programming and networks.

There I learned pretty much, and when I have questions that I can't answer myself, I ask them, when they don't know something 'bout that prob, I ask this forums.

and yeh, php is pretty easy if you already scripted in other scripting-languages (For example LUA, JScript a.s.o.)

I learnt from making a website, and trying to add features. Google-ing the problems I had and looking at scripts people had.
PHP manual is helpful.

Their PHP reference pages that are broken up into different sections like string, array, and the like is invaluable…

I learned PHP when I was 10 this way:

Went to W3Schools and read some of the basics, some of the stuff I couldn't understand, both because I was new to programming and because I was bad at english at that point. I just skipped these parts, and made some goals for basic web applications, very basic goals which I achieved by using my knowledge, and the magical tool - Google. With this method, I was able to make my own login system, basic forum etc. When I needed more complicated stuff I which had no idea how to do, I just googled for a script and edited it to make my own. And later, rewrote it all!

Afterwards, I set myself bigger goals, but still small systems which I could organize and keep up motivation before moving onto something new, this could be a small filehost, blogs, or other stuff. I reused some of my old code, and improved it. (Reusing code is a good idea, as long as you wrote it in the first place and are sure how stuff works.)

Basically just set yourself some small goals, not out of scale, but something you have a small idea of how you can write. Use a few minutes to think about how you would make it - while looking out of the window. Find out what you are not sure what to do, but have a small idea of the kind of function you would need - and google for it! Or go to php.net. I have tried books, both for PHP and for other languages, I don't enjoy this type of learning for programming, but that might just be me!

Good luck.
