I'm new to developing and I am currently undertaking a project for an online FAQ along with functional questions etc...
I want to use PHP (maybe with Dreamweaver?) to produce this website, but need to know if PHP is the best way forward???
The site will be database driven - we use SQL server at work, but I was wondering if I need Apache to run aswell?
New to Web development - PLEASE HELP!!

'Best' is quite subjective, but of course PHP can produce the functionality you want.
You might need Apache webserver, but if you running from some webhost that host should already have a webserver with PHP and an SQL server installed, be it Apache or some other server. (Though it is statistically probable that it will use apache)

I am not a programmer or anything but i have been learning PHP.
User what ever software you feel comfortable using. try a few out. I use dreamweaver MX as it has support for php, java, asp, coldfusion...
It is an app that i am comfortable using and now that it offers support for php(v4 didn't) i don't have to jump around to other programs. I does sometimes write some html that you might not need but it is very easy to edit that.
