Not much to say really. Some time ago I got motivated enough to figure out how to make a dynamic page. I started off in Perl, making a pie chart or some such thing, then I moved to PHP, eventually bought a vB license, and started playing around. In real life I am currently a research assistant at a local university, where I also take some classes, and while I sometimes have thoughts about setting Apache/PHP/MySQL up locally, I never get around to it so I use a server account to program. Not sure if it is the best way to learn, but what I did was to decide on one script I would like to make, create it, debug, RTFM, repeat. Evenually my knowledge grew to what I know today.
