Default Best way to learn PHP basics

Hi,

Can anyone suggest the best way to go about learning some basic PHP coding?

I have recently begun work on a website and trying to take the easy option, being a newbie to website design, I purchased a template which is coded in PHP.

I am trying to customise my template to make it more original, using Dreamweaver as an editing tool. I can handle some of the very basic changes through trial and error etc but I would really like to gain some basic knowledge of PHP which would help me in this sort of task.

Any reccomendations of where to start?

Thanks.

I'm pickin up PHP too at the moment. I've found the following sites helpful:

Are you interfacing your code with a database? There are tutorials out there to do that too.
