I. Introduction of PHP
Referring to the official site Www.php.net of PHP (Hgpertext preprocessor or personal Home Page Tools), PHP is a server-side, cross-platform, HTML-embedded scripting language. In fact, it is a language commonly used in web programming, as is known to all ASP. PHP Brewing in 1994, 1995 released its first public version, up to now released the latest version of PHP4.05.
PHP is a free software, it can run in the majority of operating system environment, including Windows, Linux, etc., often with the free web services software apache and free database MySQL with the use of Linux platform, with the highest performance-price ratio, known as the "gold combination."
Perhaps the most powerful and important feature of PHP is its database support, which currently covers most common databases, including Oracle, Sybase, MySQL, ODBC, and so on. It is easy to use it to write a Web program that contains database functionality.
PHP developed to PHP 3.0 has a fairly long period of stability, so many PHP applications still use PHP3 as the extension, the current system has been gradually upgraded to PHP 4.0, using PHP as the extension, while PHP in combination with Apache, Phtml is usually used as an extension, so we can easily identify the PHP system on the network.
Second, learn PHP online
PHP is a language that is born in the network, is used for the network, and develops in the network. When it was born, it was branded as a free development. At present, there are thousands of individuals and organizations at home and abroad to learn, develop and refine it in various forms and languages, and to continuously publish the latest applications and research results. We are able to use search engines and other tools on the Internet very convenient and inexpensive to find rich learning, research materials and software, as well as BBS and other communication venues, so that we can pay close attention to its development, keep observing the latest field developments. All this, for PHP itself, for those of us who care about the Web development of programming enthusiasts, is undoubtedly a huge wealth.

(a) Download PHP and related software
Building a PHP environment involves a system platform, Web services software and database software, and PHP itself. Based on our existing computer software and hardware environment, we are free to choose the appropriate softwares. Usually we will choose WINDOWS98/NT as the experimental platform, so we can download PHP4.0 above the Windows version, the database can download the MySQL version of Windows (www.mysql.org) or use the Microsoft MSSQL, Web services software can directly use WINDOWS98 PWS or Windows NT IIS, want to be professional to download Apache version of Windows (www.apache.com).
