PHP Newbie, Need Starting Point

Post by ChicagoCori »

I am a PHP newbie and need some direction as to where to start. I was an ASP and .Net user up until recently so the code should be an easy transition but I dont know where to start. What do I need to install to get php to run on IIS? Is there a specific editor that is best to use for php development? I already know my server is php enabled but I would like to work locally to begin.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Cori

Just a reccomendation here.

I code using Arachnophilia 5.2. It's a very simple tool for editing all kinds of code. I basically use it because it color codes (very easy to spot mistakes) and counts lines and columns.
