I am learning PHP and I need to know exactly what it is. I've done my own research but I don't know what I need to install to create/run it. I am running Windows 2000 with IIS and Apache 2.0. Can someone shed some light on where to go to learn more, what to download and that type of thing? Thanks, Jeremy

To run it you need a webserver which you have. It's incredibly easy to install PHP to run with IIS, if you get yourself a copy of the install file (Windows Binaries: PHP 4.2.3 installer) available here:
http://www.php.net/downloads.php
double-click it and it'll do pretty much all the configuration you'll need.

As for learning more try http://www.phpcomplete.com, http://www.phpbuilder.com, www.devshed.com.
