On my website, I use WicketPixie, and I just found out how to use the editor. I've been editing the header and footer on my blog and my other sites, and I know a little on how to use PHP, but not a lot of it. What's the best way to begin to learn it?

You might want a cool bit of free software called NotePad++ if you want to learn code.

It won't teach you code but it displays it the best.

That or textpad as well since you can see what your typing in as well. And it colorizes the key words that are reserved for php and in htmal. Something very similar to like what Turbo Pascal did and turbo C++ which were editors under the DOS all those years ago. But under the graphical environment with text pad in windows.

Make use of PHP.net, as it will be your friend. In addition, I found that the best way to learn was to jump straight into projects. Once you know the syntax and what functions do what (which can all be found on the PHP website), it's all pretty easy.

And as for HTML, this site is extremely helpful. In fact, W3Schools has tutorials on a bunch of things, including PHP, CSS, and JavaScript.

YouTube is an okay place to start. I got my self a few copies of books at my local book store. One book was: Head First HTML. It was very good!
