When you design a page in HTML, you only need to open the test file in a web browser. This technique won't work with PHP. You have to request the page through the web server with PHP. Another basic concept that takes a while to get used to is that PHP programs are usually used to generate custom HTML (or Javascript or CSS or XML). The PHP programs run on the server and are completely done by the time that the custom content is sent to the browser. This is unlke Javascript, a programming language which runs on the browser after it has arrived. This significance may not make a lot of sense now but it determines which language, PHP or Javascript, is needed for different sort of activities you want to accomplish. There are sites with lots of free PHP (and other languages) programs. The one I use frequently is http://www.HotScripts.com where you can find programs which are usually free and categorized by language and function.
