dreamweaver doesn't help you "learn" if anything it's a crutch

Use places like php.net, and tutorial sites!

first you gonna need to install a server that supports php; Apache is widely used for personal uses.
Then you need to install PHP.
If you intend to use mySql you need to install that as well.

Here is a tutorial that would help with those process:
Installing PHP and MySQL - PHP MySQL Tutorial

Hi, as we know that, php is a Server side Scripting Language[php], means it's does not run on simple Browser, that's means we must run that's language program on server then we need following,

[WAMP] => Window+Apache+MySql+PHP
[LAMP] => Linux+Apache+MySql+PHP

From Dreamweaver you just create PHP Pages

PHP is a Server side Scripting Language, you easily learn php starting with the html and install the WAMP server on your system

Use one of the earlier posted packages (XAMPP,LAMP, WAMP,...) and use sites php.net, w3schools.com to learn/reference

start from the very start of programming concepts, if u dont have then, once u made your mind to learn php then look for the tutorials like for example w3schools.com or if u r so much curious about learning php then search for the lynda.com video tutorials about php

to start php u must have 2 thing, wamp,mamp,xampp and a simple text editor like notepad ++, or dreamweaver or even windows notepad

i think all of my friends give good answer so than my answer will be same you should install dream weaver for php coding and xamp for localhost server and if you want to take from basic then you should use w3school site. it is best for php and HTML.

The PHP articles, Quick start PHP tutorials and scripts that will help to you learn PHP quickly.Thanks for sharing info.

One of the best ways to learn PHP is to use a PHP Editor application that highlights relevant pieces of code and also one that has templates included with it.

PHP was created sometime in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf. During mid 1997.PHP is a Hypertext preprocessed its a HTML language and PHP is a open source language. Can learn through many tutorials.

You can start PHP from w3school tutorial,It is a very useful site.

Just install the software, and you can start doing php easily with one step installation.
