Cool Visualising it all

I am in serious trouble. Having worked with PHP over the last..um..2 years, I am getting lost. Trouble is you see, that I want to learn more than the average (and very useful) mechanics of PHP and MySql. And so I start searching, and ...whoa....there's a lotta stuff out there. Being who I am, I get lost in the modules and libraries and classes and such. I know that I can understand the concepts, if I try reeeally hard. But I won't remember them.
Is there anyone out there who can kind of make me (and I'm very bloody sure others) visualise the ...the ...the world that PHP and it's friends live in .
Has anyone who understands the utter importance of my burning question found its answer?
And please, don't throw the PHP Manual at me. It's ok for what it is. It describes the rules, but not the game.

If you wanna learn more than the average mechanics of PHP and MySql, then dabble with PERL for a while or even C. Bar none, the best PHP application developers have migrated from these two languages....

I never waste time with the manual unless I'm looking for a function. I much prefer reading tutorials such as the one here at DevShed.

Yes I know, the tutorials. And they are good. It's not what I meant, I guess I was feeling a bit poetic. How stupid can you get eh, amongst programmers
Thanks jpenn but i've got my brain full already.
