I'm building a fairly simple CMS, no easy task but it gets the brainwaves flowing and ensures that you know your stuff and pushes you to learn even more!
This not only teaches you programming but thinking how to put it all together builds development and problem solving skills. Then when you have finished, you have a CMS to build a site from if you think of an idea halfway through!

My first php project was a twitter style forum, where multiple users could post to a single thread, and my current (2nd) php project is a CMS for a school. Pick something fairly challenging and you will pick it up much easier than working on small basic projects where you will only learn a little at a time!
If you want a smaller project I'd recommend a blog.
Gets you working on all the crucial stuff that you will need to know. user logins, creating, editing, deleting posts, understanding the basics of MySQL and learning how MySQL and PHP interacts with each other.
