XAMPP is a pre-configured Apache web server package that comes with PHP, MySQL, Perl, SSL, and a few other features (FTP and SMTP server etc). I prefer to obtain all the files individually from their official releases and configure them as I need them, but packages such as XAMPP suit some people who don't know what they're doing or just couldn't be bothered manually setting everything up.

there are alot of php and apache packages out there for everyone to use, i could recomoend one for you but it just comes with alot of stuff you probable wont need . so i tried easy php and yeah it looks easy but the damn thing drove me nuts some bits of it werent even in english . well quite honestly i found it really pathetic(sorry folds ) well configuring your apache server with php is the easiest thing one could ever do its jus plain simple should be trouble at all , you jus follow some easy steps add handlers and blah blah blah and your done, but cgi and perl thats a really different hard story. So my advice jus install apache and configure php manually.

***and as for the tutorialls i just stick to w3schoools im actually doing the php tutorial there and sound okay, you might also wanna try www.webmonkey.comthey got some tutorials although the php one was just mega hard to follow... wel ur choice. ************

www.w3schools is just a small tutorial for PHP basics. You need to go to www.php.net and search for different functions you might wanna use in your source. You don't need to learn all functions, just the ones you use the most.
