For PHP "Reference" I would definately say the PHP Website. www.php.net
It lists every available thing in php, what it does, how to use it, and the comments at the bottom usually contain wonderful example code. If you are talking about php "tutorials" well i'd say don't bother. I dont use tutorials except to see how other people would code something.
BTW the fastest way to learn is to get one of those little tiny intro books that u can read in like an hour and then figure out something you want to make with php. Once you decide what you want to do, use php.net to gather info about things you don't know. This always helped me remember the stuff better than the often useless and overused tutorials on the internet.
To be completely honest, Here is the best places to go for php stuff:
http://www.php.nethttp://www.psc.comThe php book I started off with is one of those Sams teach yourself php in 24 hours books. Great book, i also used their asp.net one and c++ one =]
Hope this helps somewhat,
