I learned PHP by just getting out there and writing some program. I
remember I wrote a message board system out of PHP, which was a great
exercise: It utilized key topics in MySQL, loops, and many other
topics. You should try this out. Of course, it probably won't be a
message board that you'll want to use, but that's besides the
point--you want to learn PHP.

After each project that you do, try to utilize different methods until
you eventually get to OOP and beyond.
