Must learn PHP

[dromano]

Hi All,
I am at a point now where it is of the utmost Importance that i quickly learn PHP scripting. I have been reading up on it on PHP.net and i need to download PHP. I am unsure which package(s) to install. I am running XP Pro. Also my server already supports PHP.
Here is the download page:
http://www.php.net/downloads.php

Anyone with any experience on usage or tips for a PHP beginner would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
Dan

Are you using IIS or apache? Below is a link to installing on IIS with windows XP

If your server already supports PHP, then you don't need to download anything.

There is a very good php tutorial (http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp) at http://www.w3schools.com

If the server doesn't support PHP, we will need to know some info about it as Wookie suggests

Thanks Mada and Wookie,
I found out yesterday that the servers just needed to be php enabled and have done so.
The tutorials at w3schools are great and easy so far but i have a feeling i'm going to wind up being a real pest to you guys over this learning curve.

Thank you for a running start,

Dan
