Have you worked through any code katas? I find that the end 'solutions' are generally elegant and working through the steps is a helpful way to get there. Obviously your own work will vary, and you'll never have someone else's solution to compare against, but many of the skills and methodologies should carry over. I think the original ones are the best, but if you don't know PHP (I wouldn't say that I do), finding some in your language(s) of choice would be best.
