I have built Web sites with Python/Django and desktop applications with Objective-C/Cocoa so programming is not something that I need to learn. For someone in my situation, what is the best way (specific books or Web sites) to learn PHP and Javascript?
The php.net documentation coupled with the user contributed comments are pretty much all you need, anything else theres SO.

+1 for recommending Flanagan's book

A:
Ayman has recommended an excellent book and two good resources. Aside from that, PHP has a few gotchas that you'll pick up with experience.
Once comfortable with PHP and Javascript I'd recommend looking at some javascript libraries such as JQuery or YUI and looking at the source of one you like, then maybe take a look at something like the Zend Framework or Symfony for PHP.

Don't forget about Prototype. Its great for those who are really used to OOP.
