How do I start with PHP?

Hey everybody I havent been here for a while but Im back now. I have a quick question which will probably be pretty easy (Im guessing) but here it is: how do I do this whole PHP thing? I baught the Sams PHP book but It doesnt really explain how to instal what is needed to work with PHP and whatnot. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

Note* I dont know much about PHP so please put it simply

Try downloading EasyPHP - it includes Apache, PHP and MySQL.

Install it then go to the directory you installed to. Within that folder go to one called www and within this folder create one for your test stuff - for this we'll call it learning.

Run EasyPHP and start working through your Sams book... to check what you've done open a browser and go to http://localhost/learning/your-file.php

Have fun
