Hello world for Google Maps (from the API reference):

<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(37.4419, -122.1419), 13);
map.setUIToDefault();

So you can stick this straight into a PHP file to get started. Once you have that working you can start adding your server side content to the generated file or maybe server up some XML from a separate PHP file to populate the map.
There are a whole lot of great examples here:

Most of the google api (and the most of others web-api aswell) are handled better by javascript or flex instead of php
I suggest you to focus on js then :)
If you're using PHP, you can definitely benefit from using a class like the new PHPGoogleMapAPI class - it's just been updated as well to use V3 of the Google Maps JS APIs.
