Question where to begin?

Hi,

I have made a few sites with frontpage.
And I have learned a little about html.
But I want to learn php. Does some one know
where I can start. And do I need some special
programs. like when I build a site I use frontpage.
So what do I have to use when build a site in php??

Thank you

PHP is a server-side language, which means that in order to run, it needs to be on a server. In other words, you have to upload PHP scripts to a webhost in order to be able to view them.

Php is a server side scripting language. So if you want to write your own scripts and test them you need to set up a apache or iis server on your box. Phptriad is problably the easiest, or phperl. You can find them both at source forge. Also, all you need is notepad and save the scripts with a .php extenstion to your apache or iis php enabled directory. Also, if you dont like notepad you can always use a program called PHP Coder thats basically notepad with syntax highlighting and so on.
