RE: Learn PHP
Best not to use Notepad, use Notepad++, but yeah, you just type and then run it in your browser... you'll need to install WAMP or something first though.

RE: Learn PHP
The browser can't run PHP, so something like file:///some/path/to/myfile.php will not work.
You need a web server with php that runs the thing for you, and you use your browser to view the result on your own webserver. So in the browser it'll be like http://localhost/myfile.php WampServer is a nice and easy to use webserver+php+mysql package for windows. Google it. Most PHP books have a whole chapter dedicated to setting up a webserver with PHP first actually... |

RE: Learn PHP
Yes, they are free:
XAMPP would work for you... XAMPP is nominated for the Source Forge Community Choice Awards 2009! EDIT: WampServer looks good too: http://www.wampserver.com/en/presentation.php WampServer allows you to install almost all the existing releases of Apache, PHP and MySQL so you can reproduce exactly the settings of your production server... >>> A Fun, Unique Cash Contest Unlike Any Other Ever Seen Before. # MyBB is the best forum software!  ## |

RE: Learn PHP
In my experience the best way to learn php is on the net rather than from books. Like learning to swim in the water kind of thing.
