start?

What programs do you use for your PHP Scripts?
Anything else i should know before i start?

What languages do you currently program in? That will give me a better idea of where to point you.

Qbasic is all i know.... :(

You program QBasic, and you want to learn PHP?

Well, I guess that's ok... for a moment I was going to point you to ASP, but QBasic isn't that complex a language (from what little I've heard), so you haven't been too poluted by M$. ;)

My only suggestion is to get very acquanted with the manual at php.net. Those User Contributed Notes can be life savers sometimes.

get php manual from here
read it tats how i learned :)

You can do your php in notepad.. or if you want to get really fancy you can use Dreamweaver there is some freeware programs too (look on hotscripts.com/php).

I just bought about 4 php books :) and a 5th is in the mail to me as wee speak so i can learn sessions :). anyway. Also read up on the manual as stated.

Should I learn HTML first?

Might be helpful, as PHP is incorporated into HTML sometimes. I know HTML, and a few others, and getting ready to start into PHP as well :)

Oh

What programs do you use?
I heard something, eidt plus? before

um.. you MUST learn html before you learn php it will make things a lot easier.
