According to Google, that would be Michigan State University.

Ok, that's a joke. The first hit has nothing to do with your question.
:-)
That said, I have examined a couple of college courses on web design
over here 'round the Rochester NY area, and none of them are very good.
I am quite sure I could have asked each instructor what PHP is, and
gotten a blank stare. Now, ask them about FrontPage, and whoopie, they
know what I'm talkin' about.
What is your goal? To produce pretty sites? To write tight and
efficient server-side code?
Find a good PHP book at your local Borders or B&N. And:

Do yourself a favour and spend that money on a couple of books. A GREAT
book is "PHP and MySQL Web Development", by Welling and Thompson.
That one book taught me enough to do good PHP work, and reading a couple of
others, and staying on top of new PHP versions / techniques through sites
mentioned at http://www.thinkvitamin.com/ , http://www.digg.com/programming
and more have turned me into a pretty damn fine PHP-er, if i may say.

My other post dealt with PHP more than "website design". Again, I would
choose books, or websites for that matter.
You should learn according to spec. Make sure the tutorials/books you use
make extensive use of CSS.

If you are someone a bit like me who wants to start on something NOW -
not buy books or read lengthy tutorials) I would follow something like this:
1)Get yourself a ready to run server package - I use NetServer available
at SF.net - has php 4 & 5 as well as perl mod_rewrite, and your other
normal stuff.
2) Have a read through some introductory info:-
http://www.tizag.com/phpT/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Php
http://www.w3schools.com/php/
3) And then get stuck into the php.net manual. If you want to do
something specific put in a search at their site - nearly every module
and function has 50 or so practical, user-contributed examples. Failing
that search google =D - there is absolutely TONS of stuff out there
because it is so popular.
