Carved in mystic runes upon the very living rock, the last words of Marty

It depends on how basic you need to go. Have you been using CFScript or
CFHTML? If the former, or if you've worked in other languages, you should
have little trouble transitioning to PHP. If you've only worked in
CFHTML, it might take a bit more adjustment, but still not bad.
Others have suggested the PHP site itself; W3Schools.com has a pretty
extensive tutorial:

Developer's Shed has lotsa stuff:

The links page on the PHP site has a lot of good resources:
