It sounds like he might be having problems with the basic programming
concepts.
Are you teaching him and then getting the guy to actaully try some for
himself ?
Start with something really basic, (hello world) and get him to do a
couple of dynamic things that dont use the database, then introduce the db
slowly.
Give him some hands on programming task to get started with, and rpovide
him with a good book on PHP and encourage him to experiment a bit.
