I can recommend a trip to php.net and i'm also going through a very easy to use book by a guy called Larry Ullmas and the title is 'PHP for the World Wide Web'

I used that book to start PHP too, and it's very good to get you going.

You don't necessarily have to install PHP on your computer unless you want to run PHP files on your computer without a different server. But if you use a host that has PHP support, then you can just upload the files to the server and run them in a browser without installing PHP on your own computer.
