I've thought about learning php for a long time and so a couple days ago 
I decided to look into it. Having found the www.php.net site it answered 
all of the questions I had about php and runs through how to setup a 
webserver with php module on your desktop pc ready for you to start 
playing. I suggest you start by reading this manual, it's helped me more 
than I expected:
