Hi Jeff,
I installed XAMPP. That does what I want on Windows. It comes with PHP and
MySQL. I'd say that you should get the PHP documentation over at
http://www.nonvisualdevelopment.org/. In that bundle, there's a little book
called something like PHP Essentials. That will get you going on the basics,
but it doesn't teach object orientation. Keep in mind that it also doesn't
teach stuff like separating code from content and it doesn't go heavily into
including source code and using third party modules. Once you've been through
that book, though, you will have a pretty decent start.
Thanks.
Jim

Subject: learning PHP
Hello,
I have a very vast programming background in Microsoft based technologies and
want to spread out a bit and learn PHP. Can anyone suggest resources on
learning it and what tools to install on Windows to create a good environment
to work with when learning? I also have a host that I can play with as well.
Which version of PHP would you suggest, the latest?
Jeff
