There are number of CMS in php like joomla,drupal etc, they provide all tutorials and documentations. You can visit there site.

I think a simple search would reveal a lot of tutorials related to PHP CMS. Writing a simple CMS is not even that hard.

 

Try to create a guestbook and you pretty much already have much of the required knowledge to write a simple CMS.

 

You would need a <form/> that will hold your data: title, content. If you don't know HTML then find a tutorial that explains to you how you can create forms. And a tutorial that explains how you process a form with PHP maybe write the information you posted back out on the screen.

 

Then a simple tutorial that explains you how to write/read stuff from a database and you have all the knowledge needed for your simple CMS.

 

Then extend on that and learn about:

- authentication and build a login for your CMS and secure your pages

- mod_rewrite and create friendly URL's like /en/how-i-learned-mod-rewrite
