Ok, I'm about to try and learn PHP.
Forgive me if this is wrong, from what I have read, do you need a special compiler for it like java? Like a program called bison? I'm confused!
Thanks for any help.

PHP is a dynamic webpage language like asp. While you can run it as a script, its main function is for dynamic webpages. (Its best purpose is for dynamic webpages based on databases.) First you need a webserver, like apache or IIS. Then, you need to install PHP. Then, look at the docs. Enjoy!

Thanks heaps!
Few more quick things.
Ok. So do most servers have PHP support? If they do, does that mean that I still have to upload those files?

No, you need to install php on whatever server you want. It has support for most webservers, like apache and IIs, so you shouldn't worry about compatibility problems. (It also includes a generic api too if you have a lesser known server.) The only problem would lie in if you don't have privledges to install it on the server you are using. Downloads here.

Note: those files for installation are only if you're running your own server.
