I'm now tryin to learn php (with online tutorials) but everything i write, and then i want to view just won't work So could you please help me. If you have some good resource or tutorial sites on this topic (php) please post them to.
thx

The script has to be parsed by the PHP engine - you can't just open it in an offline web browser as you can HTML files. Probobly the best option would be to get the Apache Web Server, and the PHP engine (which are both free) so that you can run scripts on your local machine.

Alternatively, you can just upload them to whichever web server you are using (assuming it supports PHP - which Trap17 does), but it is easier to test and debug them locally before uploading.

as said before php is executed on the server so you need apache(as said Spectre) but the genreric pack need to be configured as well as the php binary and this can be difficult for a newbie

so... i recomend a easier solution
there is a thing called xampp aka apache friends
its a full package including apache http server php 5 and 4 perl ....... and everything preconfigured
all you need to do is unpack and install it

download link:
http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourcefor...win32-1.4.6.exe

try google with xampp for more details

btw. its all free under gnu

If I were you I would go here it has full intructions on how to install PHP, MySQL, Apache and phpMyAdmin.
Thats where I went to to help me install that stuff.
If you have any other questions feel free PM me.
