Hi

welcome to the php world. I hope you don't get discouraged by previous
unfriendly responses. For the future, usenet (google groups) is not the
primary meeting point for php'ers worldwide, better take a look at
numerous web-based php forums like sitepoint.com or devnetwork.net

To start using php on your machine (I'm guessing it's Windows), you need
to install apache (web server), mysql (database server) and php itself.
There are some convenient all-in-one packages, you can take one of them
and install everything with a single click. WAMP is perhaps the most
popular one

http://www.wampserver.com/en/

The next step is to find a good tutorial, or, better, a book and learn
the language step by step. I cannot recommend you any good tutorial
because I've never read one ;) but I've heard w3schools must be good

http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp

Actually, the stuff is quite simple. If you did ASP programming before,
php is not much different.

EXCELLENT resource for MANY subjects (www.w3schools.com). I was going to
suggest this before I read your post.

NOT! I am having one hell of a time getting things going in aspx and .net.
The major problems I am having, though, seem to be with the sql server
database (as opposed to mysql).

I have to learn .NET and ASPX because that is all that is done around me. I
live in the middle of a triangle formed by Orlando, Tampa and Gainsville.
The are all 60-75 minutes away, and there in NOTHING where I live to get
work at.

I wrote an app in php for my last customer and I am using that as a learning
tool. I am trying to reproduce it in ASP and .NET on local machine (I don't
have a windows server testbed). This would be the wrong forum to list the
problems I am having, but if you can go to
microsoft,public.dotnet.framework.aspnet, I have posted there. My last two
posts were "going Nuts" and "Validation". If you email me at
sheldonlg@asap-consult.com, you will receive back a notice that my address
has changed. It will give you a new one that is specific to you.
