My best advice to anyone wanting to pickup PHP is, start simple, find a project that won't take over a month to do, and accomplish it first. Don't try to start working on a full-fleged CMS system for 100+ sites.
Also, as someone mentioned, CakePHP is and, as far as I'm concerned still is, the best framework for PHP. But at least learn the basics of PHP before you start learning a framework. The framework will just put form to your spaghetti code ;) Good lucK!
