You sould get a book, i did this it is very helpful and a great start i read the book befour i atepted any code, it's taken me 1 months tops to be able to know most php. The book i bought was 'PHP 5 in easy steps'. Inturn if you dont want to buy a book you could check out Library, Free info is avilable but anything free is never as good as something paid for.

you have tested that it works ye? ther are such ways of testing it like;
Make a index.html with this in it and save it as index.php
<?php
echo "PHP Works!!!!";
?>
