You can much do everything in both Perl and PHP, so for that reason you don't
need to learn to use PHP. If you work "professionally" with coding, you may
get a customer who wants a PHP solution instead of Perl, in which case it can
be good to know PHP.

IMHO PHP ain't difficult to learn, the first PHP project I worked on, I never
had even seen PHP code before, just bought a PHP/MySQL book, still haven't
read many pages from it, but the project went well and is still making a lot
of money for the buyer.
The online manual at php.net is the best source for help IMHO, as you will
find a lot of good remarks from other users.
