Yeah, when I was trying to learn php.. It took me 50 hours of trying to get the stupid thing to install off php.net I still didn't get it though. I could never figure out which one to download, and what to do when I downloaded it. because when ever I put a simple block of php code into note pad, and tried to open it in browser, it always came out showing the code and not using it… if somebody figures it out, please tell me :p a good place to learn almost all languages is w3schools.com though, it doesen't teach you how to install php :(

Jad , you have to put the .php file into the php thing , i cant explain myself well.
But in the book ive got when they test scripts in firefox , the URL theyre at is localhost/php/something/file.php
