PHP newbie

Jul 30th, 2004

Hi, my second post. I made my first in the "Geeks Lounge" as suggested. I wish to learn PHP and I'm totally new to/at it. All your help isgreatly appreciated.

I have webspace and they support .php, .asp, .cgi, and .pl scripts. How do I start? With PHP that is. I have my site setup up already now I wish to enhance it with PHP.

How do I get a database? Do I create my own?

After I write a simple PHP script for my site where do I upload it to and how do I check it.

The other extensions I listed above what do they stand for?

Thanks!
