NOOB

Well you really don't need much. I'm assuming that you already know HTML. Well what do you edit your webpages in? All you do is type the PHP in along with the HTML. You don't really need any special software. However, you do need a web server that supports PHP. A good one is [url=http://www.freddyswebgraphics.com/links.html]iPowerWeb[/url] . Also, when you are testing you PHP, you HAVE to upload it to you PHP compatible host and then look at it from there, because just looking at a web page that has PHP in it with a normal browser(e.g. just double clicking on .php file to open it with Internet Explorer will not work) so you have to look at it when it is on the PHP compatible host. Well, I have to go, if I missed anything, just ask or maybe someone else will fill in the holes for ya. Good Luck! :welcome Freddy

Freddy explained it pretty well. Whatever server you use make sure it is enabled for PHP and MySQL. PHP is a powerful scripting language. You can either make your own scripts or install great free ones which will give your site a lot of functionality.

Yes. A good place for scripts is [url]www.hotscripts.com[/url]. Also, if you don't know what MySQL is, it is a database system, for example if you have a PHP script where people sign up, then they would type in the username, password, etc., and then you would have it store that information in a MySQL database, and then it can be very easily accessed later.

hotscripts.com rocks! I learned about it here, and use it a lot now. It's fun to just install the scripts and see what they do 8-) BTW: welcome to the forum!

Yea I love that place!

WOW thanks for all the info guy's :)

No Problem!

lol ok what are installation kits :)

almost all of the scripts you download will have an install script. it pretty much requires you know your mysql username and password and other than that they should set you up!
