I need to know:

- Of a Good free site that allows php and goes down rarely or not at all!
- A good site where I learn how to do php (I just started, know nothing)
- What languages should I know before going into php (only know html)

Thanks for your time! Hopefully u can answer all these!

I am currently using lycos for my php, and it sucks! (i have phpbb2 board on it) I have signed up for other hosts though!

I am only 14 and cant purchase a web domain!

I dont know of any good free PHP hosts, so I reccomend you run your own webserver (assuming you just want to test & learn PHP). If your running Windows NT/2000/XP, then you can get WAMP. I've used it for a while, and it makes things very easy. they have a support forum there if you need help with it.

As for languages to know, C/C++ might help, but I found PHP easy enough to learn without it.

and to learn php, just go google "php tutorials" or "php intro", and it wont take too long to get the basics.

Rgr about setting up your own local server. Another option is easyphp.org which is vey easy to install and works well on my own W98.

I use Apache with PHP on windows for debugging and then a linux box elsewhere for offical stuff. You can take a look at apache.org and for hosts, look at the bottom of the page at http://www.php.net/links.php
