If you're wanting to learn PHP hop over to the w3schools, they've got some nice simple tutorials to start off. But try working on a simple project before you dive into editing WP.

W3school is best online place to learning a all web page development tutorial in easy way. It's provide a easy example on each topic. I have created one simple sites using w3school tutorials. click here

If you are really keen on getting a solid foundation in wordpress, spend some cash on it - visit lynda.com, get a months membership and go for your badge (They cover everything from first time set up to advanced development). I have been using wordpress for years and I am still learning new things here and there, a foundation in html, css and php are pretty much essential if you want to build your own theme or tweak an existing theme.

w3schools is where I learned about html, css, ajax, javascript and php before the days of "video tutorials" and they seem to be holding up the tradition of making everything clear and conscise - so you should definitely dedicate a couple of days there before embarking on a wordpress site. Its easy to set up and all but you wont get everything you want out of it unless you dedicate some time to learning how the engine works.

Is there any good latest Wordpress ebook and php ebook?

It updates too often for anyone to consider writing a serious book about it.
