Hi Anthony1 and welcome to the forums. There is a very easy place to learn online: w3schools.com offers step by step tutorials where you can try out your skills as you learn.
They have been known to skip over a few points but overall it has been around a long time and offers learning for free that they make easy to use. Some of it uses videos but it is mostly one topic at a time where you can try it out and understand what you are learning. From beginner to advanced lessons it can give you a good start at your own speed.

Best place? Probably dozens... I've visited most of them over the years. For html, do as not2easy suggests, excellent resource. As for PHP... can't help you there, don't use it myself (PERL), but there are sites which offer tutorials so you don't have to buy a PHP for Dummies book. :)

The w3schools site offers tutorials for PHP, SQL, jQuery, javascript as well as css, css3 and html. Once you get the hang of it there are many sites that can teach you more, but it is a great starter place.

Not sure what anyone expects to gain from a video. But if you want to learn PHP I recommend starting with a simple project, then when find that you need to cater for and what functions you need to perform, then simply use web-search until you find examples. Create a test page just for that new action (ie: encrypting/decrypting passwords) and work with that until you get it right.
Actually that may be a good project to start with... create a member login system. By the time you have finished you will have worked with:
- adding new records to a database - editing and updating those records - encryption /decryption of passwords - password retrieval - email confirmation - checking that members are indeed logged in - preventing access to select pages based on login/status
Then you will have the makings of a CMS to build upon.
By the time that you finish that you will have learned much. But don't worry if you can't remember all of it because most of us find it quicker to use web-search for examples instead of looking through our own code.
A huge time saver: create functions for commonly used routines.
There you go... Step 1: find out what a function is and how to create and use one.
