learn some low level php to get you familiar with it - then switch straight into a framework.

I use KohanaPHP - kohanaphp.com (dont go with Code Igniter, not any more)

I've heard CakePHP is pretty good too but never actually tried it (have a play and see).

A really good "dip into" resource once your familiar with PHP a bit is the documentation pages on www.php.net
