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

Welcome newbie.
What do I need to install to get php to run on IIS?
Read the installation process documentation for IIS on php.net:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis.php
Is there a specific editor that is best to use for php development?
Read the General Discussion board's PHP Editor's thread:

I already know my server is php enabled but I would like to work locally to begin.

Make sure to read the forum rules and posting guidelines of each board.
Moved to PHP - Code.

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.
