Start with installation: PHP, MySQL, Apache/IIS and OS like Windows 2000, 2003 or Linux (Fedora Core). Internet (dial-up) also is obviously required. A coding tool like Homesite+ or Notepad++ is also a need. After installation, read PHP artcles, tutorials, PDF books. Read/download official AMP documentation. Try examples. Small ones. It's a process. It's a journey. However, PHP is much more easy than other languages. Except that, beginners find difficulty in configuring their local server.

If you're lonely, it'll take much more time thn if you've seniors and guides with you.

Hi,

My suggestion is to leave Windows XP. It is not quite a OS for developers. It is clearly metioned in Apache, PHP, MySQL docs to install and use these. If not all, most Web tutorials, you see on Web, are good or bad derivations from their Web sites. Hence, I suggest, you go to Apache, MySQL, PHP Web sites and refer there. Reading these bulky manuals are a bit difficult but still a fun. (You can download these easily, as a Windows CHM format also.)

I also suggest, use Apache lieu IIS. If you could move to Linux, it is better, else use Windows 2000 or Windows 2003. Please revert, once your installation is working.

For a list of quick easy tutorials, why you not search Google?
