$people = 'false';

echo 'It is so easy to learn PHP';
}

It's always a good idea to start schetching and mocking up your project before you start coding. I usually design first after I have a good plan of what my project should achieve and include. After that I put on the monkey suit and start coding.

I really like Notepad++ but really any text editor will work. There are a few made specifically for PHP all you have to do is google PHP IDE:
Notepad
Notepad2
Wordpad
Dreamweaver
Eclipse (has a php plugin)
Zend Studio
Komodo
PHP Designer
PhpED
PHPEdit

I think Eclipse is pretty good for projects but a bit heavy to run. Notepad++ is lightweight and have a decent syntax highlight.

Requirements:
- Willingness to learn
- Perseverance
- A basic understanding of XHTML
- A web server (preferably Apache)
- An installation of PHP
- An editor (covered in previous posts)
Optional:
- An installation of the MySQL database engine
- A PHP book or two
If you've got some money to drop, I highly recommend shelling out for a book on PHP. I don't have any recommendations on titles.
If you want to learn on the cheap, Tizag is a great site to start at for some basic tutorials (http://www.tizag.com/phpT/). W3schools has more in-depth tutorials for you to look at (http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp).
When starting a website project, I find it best to sketch out the requirements of the site (what's its purpose, what should the user experience be, etc), and then draw the basic look based on that. From there, I create a layout in XHTML/CSS, and then start coding the PHP.
