Laravel and PHP newbie

I suggest learning PHP and how MVC's work first to avoid a lot of headaches.

First, start with the PHP Basics, then move on to Object Oriented Programming and after you are familiar with PHP as a language, build a few projects, to use the theory in practice. Once you are comfortable with the language, start learning the Fundamentals of Laravel 5.

One of the books which is great for studying PHP is the one for the Zend Certificate:

Zend PHP 5 Certification Study Guide

You'll learn everything about PHP from A to Z from this book.

Have fun studying! :)

Thanks a bunch guys! Any good video tutorials with PHP basics (i found few but they are bit outdated) since it is easier to watch and listen then to read (since english isnt my native language)?

Once again, thanks!

Here are a few video tutorials to get you started:

PHP Fundamentals By Jeffrey Way at Tuts+

Object Oriented Bootcamp In PHP

PHP Courses At Team Treehouse

Great tips in here, I would suggest anything Jeffrey Way hast taught on Tuts+ and regarding OOP I agree with the OOP Bootcamp that's taught here. The Tuts+ Course on the matter is all over the place. I would also suggest the book PHP Objects: Patterns and Practice by Matt Zandstra once you're more comfortable with the subject.
