Hi, I new to web programmer!!! well i know how to make aspx pages, but... i downloaded php and i d´ont manage it. i thought it was a script like javascript, so that i put a tag and write some code there but the browser doesnt read it. I isntalled php, do i need to install something else? I thinking on building the webpage offline and after put it online like in aspx. Any help here???please :-\

I'm not really sure if it's against the rules to post links to other tutorial sites...but I'd think it's not since this is such an open and helpful community. Anyways, I taught myself PHP good enough to make scripts from scratch without any trouble (for the most part) using this site. www.tizag.com Hope that helps you get a better understanding of how PHP works. You can't just run PHP from the browser you have to have a form or something else to use the script, otherwise the browser doesn't really know what to do with it.

This is probably the biggest PITA about switching to PHP especially under Linux. There are multiple applications which need to be installed and properl configured before you can use PHP. I would suggest looking into ApacheFriends XAMPP/WAMPP for a complete Apache/MySQL/PHP setup specific to your environment.
I'm finding the only constant in software development is change it self.

I didn't think it was all that bad.
sudo aptitude install php mysql apache
That installed everything I needed. There wasn't much configuration other than configuring virtual sites in apache. Of course you have to setup MySQL with your databases and other such things, but it's pretty easy also.
