What is the best way to learn PHP online?

Question

At the moment i am using W3Schools as i did for X/HTML, CSS, Javascript and HTML DOM.

For some reason i am finding W3S* a bit hard for PHP, do i need to learn every single reference as well or just the main lessons and certain references.

Or is there a simpler site i can learn from?

My aim is to build and sell all kinds of pre-made websites (e-commerce to basic info site's and maybe try some social networking sites in the future)

Thanks in advance.
