Say I find a spell like Detect Magic in a spell-book and want to learn it. Due to the fact that the spell has no material component, and the only reason spells cost anything is because your using materials to practice with them, would it cost anything? I can't think of what kind of material someone would be practicing with. Even if someone was testing the spell on something magical it's not like once they use the spell their magic item just disappears. So to summarize what I just said I'm wondering if a spell without a material component costs gp to learn.

Yes, all spells cost gold to learn.
That's a fixed cost - it doesn't matter whether the spell has a material component, no material component, or even an expensive material component. All spells cost 50 gp x spell level to learn.
